Santa Monica is a vibrant beach city steeped in history, serving as the final stop on the legendary Route 66-a road that has long symbolized adventure, freedom, and unforgettable journeys. Once a classic roadside motel, the Santa Monica Hotel continues to welcome travelers seeking romance, nostalgia, and coastal charm. Though it may not have the lavish extras of a resort, it offers something even more special: a front-row seat to one of the most breathtaking ocean views in California just a short bike ride away.
