Sandbourne Santa Monica, Autograph Collection

Just steps from the iconic Santa Monica Beach and Pier, Sandbourne Santa Monica, Autograph Collection, is a 175-room retreat that blends stunning design with relaxed seaside charm. Opened in May 2024 and designed by Icelandic architect Gulla Jónsdóttir, the hotel features natural textures, sculptural elements, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Its “Feel the Moment” ethos shines through thoughtful details and experiences, from chef Raphael Lunetta’s signature restaurant, Marelle, to luxury amenities like an indoor/outdoor fitness center, the pool with daybeds, complimentary pottery classes, and an on-site dog park. In-room relaxation tools—weighted blankets, acupressure mats, and Turkish or waffle towels—enhance the laid-back luxury vibe. Sweeping ocean views and easy access to LA’s westside makes Sandbourne Santa Monica an ideal escape for Sunset readers.
