Last year, Viceroy Santa Monica unveiled a $21 million renovation, complete with wood-planked ceilings that make you feel as if you\u2019re taking a walk along the pier, topped off by a two-tone bench made of real driftwood. A fan-favorite feature is the hotel\u2019s art collection curated by Art House and created by local artists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The newly-designed, beach-inspired guest rooms and suites bring the outdoors in, with natural textures and color palettes reminiscent of a day by the water. The furniture is mid-century style, with carpet, wall coverings, and curtains that evoke colors of the sea and sun. All rooms have a Juliet balcony so you can enjoy the refreshing ocean breeze, and western-facing rooms offer unparalleled views of the Pacific Ocean and awe-worthy California sunsets. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" itemprop=\"image\" class=\"wp-image-180150 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/30112434\/Viceroy-Santa-Monica_Cabana-scaled-e1714501560230.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"401\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>All About the Amenities\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best vacations are a perfect balance of fun, sun, and relaxation, where you can easily go from hanging on the beach to finishing the afternoon poolside, followed by a delicious dinner, cocktail in hand.
