Santa Monica has long been the place to “hang” when visiting Southern California. Perhaps it’s the worldfamous Santa Monica Pier, or the California Incline that leads to some of the most famous beaches on the California coast. Third Street Promenade is also a draw with its restaurants and trendy bar scene, as is the more upscale Montana Avenue with its designer shops and cafes. Palisades Park, set above the eminent bluffs that separate the city from the ocean is a stretch of space perfect for a jog, walk, or bike ride while enjoying the superb panoramic views of the Pacific.

But when it’s time to turn in, the Viceroy Santa Monica, with its classic Westside vibe, is the hotel visitors want to call their home away from home. Located on Ocean Avenue in one of the most iconic structures in the city, Viceroy Santa Monica is steps from Santa Monica Beach and a short walk to the pier.

In partnership with Priority Bikes, hotel guests are welcome to explore Santa Monica on wheels. A curated map of local landmarks and cultural centers is available from the concierge.

On site, Viceroy Santa Monica offers a peaceful poolside patio lined with swaying palm trees, six stylish open-air cabanas, and recliners. Outdoor heaters and fire pits keep guests warm so they can comfortably enjoy the open-air, even on chilly evenings.

The hotel’s eclectic décor mixes art deco flourishes with mid-century modern fur-

nishings in the most creative fashion, and the walls are dressed in illustrious pop culture works of art.

Guestrooms and suites are elegantly appointed and feature city as well as majestic ocean views. Exclusive Natura Bissé bath products offer guests the ultimate in highend potions and the beds are snug and comfy.

The hotel features a casual lounge, versatile meeting spaces that offer pool and ocean views, a fully equipped fitness center (open 24/7), houses Pelaton bikes, treadmills, elliptical machines, and weights. And after a challenging workout, guests can head to Sugar Palm, an indoor-outdoor restaurant in the hotel’s lobby level.

Recognized as Santa Monica’s social hub, Sugar Palm has a wraparound bar set against a poolside backdrop. Food and cocktails are served on the terrace or indoors surrounded by artwork and natural woods. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the restaurant offers a variety of avocado toasts, omelets, waffles and burritos to start the day: salads, seafood and pastas for lunch, and unique dinner fare like salmon poke, oysters of the day, whole branzino, lobster bucatini and a number of plant-based items.

Rosemary Allison is the reminder that relationships matter, being an advocate for her clients and their homes matters. There is NO OTHER REALTOR that you should call to represent you in selling your home.

I could go on and on but I think you get the picture... Once we listed our home with Rosemary, she not only found our buyer within 2 weeks from her steller advertising, but her connections provided our buyer the lender who could help her purchase our home in less than 30 days. Rosemary Allison, we cannot “thank you and your team” enough for your professionalism in not only to the end. Your work ethic and tenacity to get the job done was incredible. My family and I are forever indebted to you for seeing this through. Rosemary Allison is truly The Queen of Real Estate.
