Overview
This boutique hotel just across Ocean Avenue from the Santa Monica Pier and Beach began booking guests in its airy, modern, and eco-conscious guest rooms in October of 2011. Fifty percent of the building materials used for the hotel were salvaged from unused construction materials, and its 164 rooms feature low-flow water fixtures, teak furniture and balconies overlooking the ocean. Because parking in Santa Monica can be a horror, Shore Hotel provides an underground garage, though some recent guests call out the hotel for its exorbitant parking fees ($35 per night). Visitors rave about the hotel's modern decor, along with its solar-heated pool and its on-site Mexican restaurant, Blue Plate Taco. The Shore Hotel's sustainable amenities do not come cheap, but recent guests say the price is worth it.

The hotel gets high marks for its convenient location and ecological efforts, but it needs work in customer service to justify the cost.
[T]here are several places to lounge: outside by the fire pits, in the heated pool, or the lobby with incredible views of the beach. The California sunset should not be missed!
An outdoor heated pool with hot tub are available at Shore Hotel Santa Monica. A state-of-the-art gym is open 24-hours along with the business center. This eco-friendly LEED-certified property offers electric car charging stations.
