I use to stay here when it was a Marriott the new owners have done a great job renovating. The staff is great and represents the hotel with very positive attitude. Would love to come back and stay again. The food was great loved every meal I had there.

We chose the Sandbourne Hotel because of its delightful views, easy accessibility to all Santa Monica has to offer and most importantly, convenience for guests who were coming to a memorial luncheon for one of our high school dear friends. From the minute we stepped out of the car greeted by Jesus, Jose and Palmer and then assisted by Apollo and checked in by Alex - the service was exemplary! The greeting was so warm and convivial. You were instantly relaxed and knew you were in for a fantastic stay! Other friends who checked in commented on the wonderful warmth and sincerity of the valet and lobby staff when they arrived as well! Once our group had gathered at our table, the food was just beyond delicious and our servers some of the best I’ve ever had! There were 20 people in our group and everyone complimented the delicious dishes that were served! It truly is a great varied and flavorful menu! As one of the organizers of the event, I felt 100% that I made the right choice in choosing the Sandbourne Hotel and restaurant for a reunion! We will DEFINITELY be returning! 🥰 Lisa McKean and Mike McKean Read less

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.
