Spacious dinning area overlooking beautiful Ocean Avenue. Lounging poolside is a must as well. Great DJ's on the weekends. The hotel’s pristine interior is always comforting whether you're relaxing or holding business meetings. I usually order the Lobster Cobb; crisp greens tossed with a blue cheese vinaigrette, applewood bacon, and ripe avocado complimented the fresh lobster perfectly. Also known for their fabulous oysters. Service at the Shangri-La is always outstanding!!

friendly staff, love to visit this place!

Well this hotel is nothing superb. I think it should tout its prime location, only seconds from the beach, but the rooms are less than impresseive for the price.

Great view and location - about 3 blocks from the Santa Monica Pier. The room was nice and clean. The king size bed felt like two twin-sized box springs pushed together. Torn couch cushions but still comfortable. They put out a good complimentary continental breakfast until 10:30am. I could have done without the homeless outside shouting at each other around 3am. Overall, a decent place to stay while in Santa Monica

This hotel has really large rooms for a wonderful price. I got an amazing view, kitchen, free breakfast, free parking, and free high speed internet access. All I had to do is plug in my laptop in the room and I was surfing... I'm an Internet junkie. Anyways... Shangri-La is right next to 3rd St Promenade, which is filled with great stores, movie theaters, and resturants. The pier is also close by and worth seeing. This place is a GEM!
