A sophisticated European hotel (and historic landmark) on Santa Monica beach, Casa del Mar underwent a $60-million restoration in October 1999 to a Renaissance Revival style. The hotel, a member of Leading Hotels of the World, boasts 129 elegantly appointed guestrooms and suites, 3 Penthouses and a Presidential Suite. You'll also find an outdoor infinity pool and Jacuzzi, spa/health club, California cuisine at Ocean-Front, poolside dining at The Palm Terrace and the hip Veranda Lobby Bar and Lounge.
