I was here on business but fortunately they gave us down time. The hotel is beautiful with a laid back, beach vibe. As usual for these super nice hotels the bed and sheets and pillows and comforter were GREAT. (why can't you ever find something in a store that seems the same?) People were very nice and the rooms were... More

This will probably be one of my shorter reviews, but what a great experience. Friendly, helpful staff and excellent food and service at all of the restaurants (poolside service is a bit slow - friendly, but slow). The rooms are clean and roomy and relatively quiet, although I'm not a fan of the subterranean rooms on the North side of... More

We stayed here 5 nights with teenagers and it was the perfect location. The pier, shopping, restaurants, and Venice Beach were within walking distance. The Loews has a beautiful view of the beach and it was relaxing to sit by the pool or the outdoor fire pits and look at the joggers and bikers exercising on the beach. The concierge... More

We were booked into Loews for our final four nights in the US and what a lovely surprise, after a very hot and dusty 16 days on the road driving R66. I had previously e mailed Loews requesting an Ocean view room and I was not disappointed at all, we had a virtually uninterrupted view of the Pacific and Santa... More

What does sitting poolside getting drinks served and food brought all afternoon do a girl who lives in LA? Makes her think she's not in LA anymore.

We decided to stay at the Loews Santa Monica on the second leg of our trip to LA, and what a mistake that was. It was a very disappointing experience overall.
