Le Meridien Delfina Santa Monica 

A calm retreat set back from the beach

Set back from the beach but still within easy reach of the area’s must-sees, Le Méridien Santa Monica injects colour and verve to its LA address without being as trendy (or lively) as some of its neighbours. So it’s ideal if you fancy staying somewhere a little calmer.

Only four blocks back from the beach, Le Méridien Delfina is in a prime position for exploring the Santa Monica area of LA. Hop on a complimentary bike from the hotel and you’ll be on the beach before you know it. Santa Monica Pier isn’t far either, nor is Third Street Promenade for shopping, dining, and general mooching. Not up for a bike ride? The resort fee covers access to a house car that’ll whisk you anywhere within a two-mile radius. 

Why we love Le Meridien Delfina Santa Monica

  • Le Méridien Delfina has all of the essentials - restaurant, bar, pool and fitness centre

  • Cycle to Venice Beach and see the locals improving their fitness at Muscle Beach.

  • See the luxury yachts moored at Marina del Rey

  • Stretch your legs with a walk along Santa Monica Pier, particularly special at sun set.

The hotel's main restaurant is open every day from 630am until 10pm.

From fast food to fine dining, Santa Monica has plenty of dining options if you want a change from the hotel's restaurant.

At the fitness centre there is rowing machine, exercise bike, cardio equipment, treadmill and weights, although most guests like to take their exercise along the beach.

Use one of the hotel's complimentary bikes to explore your surroundings, get a bird's eye view of the coast by taking a spin on the Ferris wheel at Santa Monica pier or visit the Third Street Promenade for shopping, dining and entertainment.

There's an outdoor heated swimming pool.
