Santa Monica Loews Hotel
 

Good place or what?????????

Yeah right on the beach - alot of kids at the pool though.

Stay at Shutters or Viceroy - you'll like it better.

Think I went there once . . . don't recall the rooms being anything special . . . but I may be thinking of somewhere next to it.

bunch of us are coming end of Nov to LA then to Vegas...

I didnt pick da hotel , any other suggestions to good hotels, ill check shutters and viceroy now

Ii need to look at map oioif LA

Do you want to stay in Santa Monica or closer in to Beverly Hills/ Hollywood?

Its pretty nice.....

The rooms are small but nice :-)

Its about as cheap as you'll find on the beach. If you want a step up, try "Shutters" which is a block away.

I dont mean "bad" cheap....I mean resonable prices

Yeah... you'd like the Viceroy more.

I've gone out there a few nights just to have drinks and hang in the cabanas. Good times.

Loews is livable, though.

we are getting a rental also , so we can drive i gguess

its ultimately up to the bachelor heheehhe i just wanted some info on the spots and such :):):) Ill take any recommendations

Is that the hotel I met you and HP at?

In Santa Monica, I will repeat what everyone else is saying about Shutters and Viceroy.

In Beverly Hills you have the Avalon and Four Seasons on Doheny.

In Hollywood The Standard, The Roosevelt, or the Argyle.

We stayed there for a few days last year.. the rooms are teeny tiny and it is not Actually Oceanfront.. there is a road and park in between.

I give it a 6 out of 10

yes:thumbsup

Oh yes... Casa Del Mar is a beautiful hotel. Pricey and a bit old school but great rooms.

Then be advised, your average walk-in closet on MTV Cribs is bigger than the rooms at Loews. :1orglaugh

It is a good hotel.... But if you want to party take the other guys advice and stay somewhere else... It is where the well-off or rich families go so their kids are safe.

as far as santa monica goes I love the Shangri La.

Check out the Hotel Oceana.

It's a very laid back place, and the suites facing the ocean are quite nice. Plenty of room for you and your mantourage to kick it in comfort in between salacious sorties...

The suites have a kitchen area with a large refrigerator, which is good to have in case you are planning to party in the room much at all (if you like your booze cold and quesadillas heated).

ADG

Honestly.. I think our kitchen is much bigger than the double bed rooms there lol :1orglaugh

yeah ... Casa Del Mar! Heaven's waiting room

I second Shutters. Superb hotel.

It's pretty good..great sunday brunches :thumbsup

Viceroy, Shutters or Casa Del Mar are good choices.

Also, if you need a hookup, I've got a relative who's an executive at the Huntley in Santa Monica. It's not ocean front, one block away, but they remodeled it, the bar at the top called 'the penthouse' is one of the hottest spots in LA right now. Plus, it's owned by Persians I know :thumbsup

:thumbsup:

for santa monica area these are the places.
