Oceana Santa Monica, LXR Hotels & Resorts

Santa Monica, California

4.5(789)
FHR

Oceana Santa Monica LXR is a very nice hotel overall. Most of the staff we interacted with were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. The room was excellent. We originally booked a base room but were upgraded to a one-bedroom suite. The space felt thoughtfully curated and stylish — you can tell real effort was put into the design, which makes it stand out from many standard American hotels. If paying cash, the hotel feels a bit overpriced, but I would say a fair value would be around $500–$600 per night. We redeemed a free night stay, which made the experience feel well worth it.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: We stayed in a one bedroom suite on the second floor. The price for the room was $$$$$$$. With this in mind, we were hoping for a nice, quiet room with a view of the ocean. NO. Did not happen. YOU NEED TO KNOW that your room may be right next to the lobby lounge outdoor deck and there is music and loud talking while they are open. There are also musicians and others that are right outside of your window (technically on the public beach) that are singing, playing the trumpet, keyboards and VERY LOUD all the time. The room also has a public walkway right under thPeggy Miller

We had the most incredible stay at the proper hotel. One of favorite meals was at the rooftop restaurant was the delicious lobster salad served by kind and knowledgeable people The rooms were spacious well appointed There were a lot of hight tech gadgets that did almost everything for you The highlight of our stay was the autonomy foods matcha latte which was provided in our room. It was by far the best matcha I have ever had and they even provided a machine that heats and froths the latte! I have since subscribed for the Matcha latte travel packs and drink it every morning.

10/10 experience from start to finish. The level of customer service here is outstanding. Every staff member I interacted with was professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made a noticeable difference throughout the stay. The property itself is beautifully maintained, with excellent facilities and thoughtful amenities that elevate the overall experience. The location is ideal, making it easy to enjoy the surrounding area while still feeling like a relaxing retreat.

FHR in Santa Monica — FAQ

How many Fine Hotels + Resorts properties are in Santa Monica?

There are 11 luxury properties in Santa Monica bookable through a card collection — Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts, The Hotel Collection, Chase The Edit or Capital One Premier — this page shows the all 11. Each earns you perks like daily breakfast, a property credit and room upgrades on top of your room rate.

Which card gives the best hotel benefit in Santa Monica?

It depends on the property. Amex Platinum (FHR) adds daily breakfast, a ~$100 credit and 4pm checkout with no minimum stay. Chase Sapphire Reserve (The Edit) and Capital One Venture X (Premier) add similar perks with a two-night minimum. Many Santa Monica hotels appear in more than one collection, so book through whichever card gives you the richest credit.

Must I book a prepaid rate to trigger the property credit?

For Amex FHR, no — the on-property credit applies to any FHR-booked stay through Amex Travel. For The Hotel Collection and Chase's The Edit, book the standard collection rate through the card's own travel portal (not a third-party site) and the credit, breakfast and upgrade post automatically at checkout.

Do I need to log into Amex or Chase to see these hotels?

No. This page lists every participating Santa Monica property publicly so you can plan first. When you're ready to book, open a hotel's page for direct portal links.
