I booked a staycation at the at the Sandbourne Hotel for Memorial day weekend and was amazed at what this hotel had to offer. The room was very clean and the beachfront views were to die for. I also recommend heading downstairs to the hotel restaurant for some food and drinks. The apps and drinks were delicious!! Our server Nancy had great customer service and did a great job describing the different appetizer's. Overall the staff was very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back for the hamachi crudo and Woodford old fashioned.

I stayed on 29-30 May 2025. It was my last stay in a 5-week roadtrip across the US. Upon arrival I was checked-in by Mark Williams, and I think Mark could read my mind, that this was the time to upgrade my last night in the 5-week-trip, and he upgraded me to a lovely room with a very good view (it helps that I am Lifetime Platinum, but admittedly it’s not always I need an upgrade, and similarly it is not always that other properties automatically grants an upgrade). He also provided useful steakhouse-references. I so much enjoyed my stay. The property is perfectly located. Near the Pier, but away from the crowds. Service at breakfast time was excellent.

Two kind and helpful employees

I dealt with Santiago Acevedo and Eric Kim, two employees of the hotel. They went out of their way to help me send amenities to a guest at the hotel. They stayed on the phone with me to make sure that everything was done properly. I really appreciated their kindness since I was calling from across the country!
Sandbourne and the love we felt from the staff!

The Sandbourne and their employees were the best throughout our stay. We were evacuated from the Palisades Fire and they made the almost two month experience phenomenal! The restaurant staff and the food that was prepared was amazing. The front desk managers who assisted us were gracious and kind. The valet staff, Jorge, Ricardo, Sydney, Manuel, Emerson, Jesus and David were the best! We had many laughs and talks that always made us feel welcomed. They treated us like family and welcomed our pets as well! Highly recommend this hotel when staying in Santa Monica. Great Dog Park as well!
