Having recently completed a $30 million dollar renovation and looking as sharp and pristine as ever, the Shangri LA boldly stands out on Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica with its Art Deco decor and allure. Occupying a prime piece of real estate on Ocean Avenue, the Shangri LA is smack dab in the middle of upscale shopping, exquisite dining opportunities and a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Monica shoreline. In addition all the major sites of Santa Monica-Montana Avenue, the Third Street Promenade and the Santa Monica Pier are all within easy walking distance. In addition, the hotel is near the California Incline with easy access to the beach, and the PCH will allows for a short hop up to Malibu.

Venice Beach is less than a ten minute car ride to the south of the hotel. Frequent bus service (by Santa Monica's Big Blue Bus) stop near the hotel on Ocean Ave and have a direct route to Venice. Those not inclined to walk will also find convenient bus service to the Santa Monica Pier as well.

The Shangri LA offers a classy yet relaxed and coastal feel. Upon stepping into the lobby the visitor will feel the calming atmosphere with dark colors and ultra chic vibe. To the right of the lobby is a bar/restaurant where every table gets a dramatic view of Ocean Avenue and the Pacific below. The windows are angled in such a way to capture the cool ocean breeze. The hotel is angeled on a corner so all the rooms afford a view of either the Pacific, the Santa Monica shoreline, Malibu or the city of Santa Monica and parts of LA. The hotel also offers a lush courtyard with a raised pool and poolside cabana. The hotel is located in an area of Ocean Avenue that is occupied by several high end hotel properties including the Georgian, Lowes, Vice Roy, Shutters and Hotel Casa Del Mar to name a few.

If your travels take you beyond Santa Monica, you will need a car. During rush hour and peak times the drive from this part of Santa Monica to such locations as Beverly Hills, Hollywood and West Hollywood can be up to an hour. On off peak times, the drive is less than 20 minutes.
