The Pierside Hotel
Perched steps away from the Santa Monica Pier, The Pierside Hotel’s 2023 debut marks a milestone as Ocean Avenue’s newest hotel in 11 years. With 132 luxurious guestrooms and suites, many overlooking the captivating coastline, the hotel boasts numerous upscale amenities including a light-filled lobby with communal areas for gathering, an elevated pool experience with food and beverage service, full-service gear rental The Board Shop, state-of-the-art fitness center, and signature restaurant The Surfing Fox complete with a sprawling outdoor patio with sought-after views. Adorning the property’s ocean-facing wall is a custom mural commissioned by renowned contemporary artist Shepard Fairey, his largest installation in the area to date. The reimagined hotel offers an authentic connection to the best of Santa Monica, with a variety of local partnerships and ease of access to world-class shopping, upscale nightlife, a celebrated dining scene, plentiful entertainment options, and unique outdoor and cultural experiences.
