Overview
Hotel Shangri-La is one of the most recognizable buildings on Santa Monica's Ocean Avenue. In fact, this 70-room hotel's distinctive art deco look is one of the key reasons recent visitors suggested you stay here. Guest rooms boast excellent views of the Pacific and the Santa Monica Beach, as well as flat-panel TVs, complimentary internet access and iPod docking stations. Visitors were won over by the decor, which consists of parquet floors, soft purple fabrics and bold animal print accents. However, some travelers note that the area can get noisy at night, which can hinder a sound sleep. Guests at the Hotel Shangri-La will have access to the Dining Room, which serves fresh market-to-table fare. For lighter snacks and drinks, head to ONYX, the hotel's rooftop bar and lounge.

Critic Reviews
A slick and inviting boutique hotel overlooking the Pacific, with ... exquisite rooms and lustrous interiors in an iconic Art Deco building that displays the curvy contours of an elegant ocean liner.
Salty air and a glamourous seaside vibe pervade the open-air corridors — a unique feature of the hotel.
Stylish enough to be alluring but not too stuck up or intimidating.
Details are perfect, from the silver, white and black décor to the bathroom fixtures.
