Maison Twenty Seven

Forty-eight rooms fill this four-star property on 3rd Street in Santa Monica, three blocks from the Third Street Promenade and a six-minute walk to the beach and pier. The location suits couples and remote workers wanting walkable beach access without downtown Los Angeles traffic.

Rooms lean minimal, with oak furnishings and blackout drapes for guests adjusting from other time zones. A ground-floor lounge serves coffee from a local Santa Monica roaster through midafternoon.

Santa Monica's Big Blue Bus stops steps from the entrance, reaching Venice Beach in under fifteen minutes.
