Excellent service from the moment you arrive until you leave. Very well maintained property and clean rooms. Great location that is walkable to all the local attractions. Restaurant (Orla) on-site was also excellent.
Loved my stay at the regent. Felt like a seamless resort stay. I enjoyed the location, staff, room, and restaurant. The house car was a nice touch!
One thing I wish was in the room: snacks! Either complimentary or for purchase!
My stay was fantastic from the moment I stepped foot on the property, only good things to say about this hotel. Shoutout to Christian who greeted us and checked in with how our stay is.
The spa was also AMAZING! Very clean, modern and has every amenity you need.
Will be back!

The room was great and the staff was very friendly and professional. I truly enjoyed my stay.
True 5* experience beyond what other 5* Hotels offer - certainly a special place to stay with amazing rooms in an amazing location. Great extras for Expedia members too
I love it! This is a totally awesome master piece of style resort. I was here before when it was a Loews hotel! But now woooo this new Regent hotel resort, blowing me away with his new concept and designs, is something like makes me feel really happy! Everything any single space corners, walls, furniture around from the entrance to the top floor are super top notch. What to say from the crew members everyone has a great sense of how important is customer service they make you feel like super special. Food is so good no matter at what time you go to eat this place have good food options for everyone. Location is another A+

An amazing new brand renovated hotel with very kind team. Everything was made to ensure we enjoyed our stay here (from the bicycle to the Bentley provided for free to guests). We recommend!
My favorite hotel in Santa Monica. I always stay at the Regent hotel when I’m in Santa Monica. The staff is very friendly and really looks after their guests. The rooms are large and very clean.
My stay at the Regent Santa Monica Beach was perfect as usual. It is my favorite hotel when I go to Los Angeles. I’ve been going about once a month and staying for a few days. The staff are great, and the room is always clean. I highly recommend this hotel.
Simply one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. I’ve been fortunate to go to some amazing properties and this topped them all. Laid back, beach decor with impeccable design choices. Feels like you’re staying at your
Lovely hotel. We would stay there again. Great beach access. Very walkable with access to transit. The staff is kind. The room is beautiful and large, and pretty quiet despite the lobby having loud music and a bar right out in the open. You could sometimes hear the bass thumping through the wall so they should maybe turn that down. But it wasn’t super noticeable. The only real reason I gave 4 stars is because on one of the days (I think Saturday) we left the room for like 6 hours early in the day and had the service light on. We came back and the room was not clean. We turned it off and hung out for a bit, and then went out again and turned the service light on again. Came home after dinner and the room had never been cleaned or turned down. It was only the one time, and it’s maybe a little picky to complain about it, but for an expensive 5 star hotel, it’s part of the service you expect.
We recently stayed at the Regent Santa Monica Beach for five nights during my son’s college visit to Los Angeles. Although we frequently stay at five-star hotels such as the Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton, this experience was truly exceptional and stands out as superior in terms of service and thoughtful attention to detail. From the moment we arrived, every interaction reflected genuine hospitality and care.
We highly recommend the Regent Santa Monica Beach to colleagues, friends, and fellow travelers. We would gladly stay here again in the future.
Amazing experience at luxury Regent SM Beach hotel
Wonderful stay at the Regent SM Beach!
I stayed 10 times at the time the hotel was under Loews brand, and it was already a great hotel… But Regent is even better: rooms are very Very large, with very nice furnishings, a very large bathroom, a 75-inch tv screen etc… Everything is top luxury!
The service is very warm, personal and friendly from the front desk and concierge to the bellman, pool staff or housekeeping staff.
I had dinner at Orla (octopus as a starter, and lobster with spices for the main course) and this was a very good experience, though pricey.
This hotel is top notch and I will definitely come back here next summer!
The best hotel in LA now, well appointed luxurious all-suite hotels with truly 5-star finishes including a spacious walk in rain shower, dressing room, vanity and bidet in the bathroom suite. Loved the Guerlain spa. But the best part of the stay was the truly 5 star service from everyone. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
