The 72 Best Hotel Openings of 2024
Sandbourne Santa Monica, California
Sandbourne Santa Monica offers a sensorial respite on Ocean Avenue with 175 guestrooms and suites. The minimalist interiors blend natural tones and textures inspired by the sand and sea, punctuated by art that reflects the city’s energy. The ethereal triple-height lobby—featuring sculptural organic concrete columns and a handcarved plaster reception desk—offers a striking focal point with ocean views, while Marelle restaurant adds to the sense of elevated beachside luxury.
