My friend and I stayed for an entire week at the Embassy Hotel Apartments while we took a one week cutting course at the Vidal Sassoon Academy. I wasn't sure what to expect since the reviews were very mixed. Thankfully we had a great time! It's amazingly unique architecture and layout make you feel like you are living in Santa... more

This hotel is perfect for your stay. It is 3 blocks from Third street Promenade which is the place to be if you're not on the beach! Although the beach is so close too! Our room got a lovely sea breeze and was very comfortable. We chose a room which wasn't a suite so we didn't get a fridge which... more

The rooms were spacious and had tons of old world charm. The room was perfect and fit the makeup, hair and whole bridal party in the studio room. The old world charm were perfect for pictures. I absolutely loved everything! I would recommend this hotel especially if you have children since even the smallest room (which is not small by... more

My husband and I spent a week at the Embassy apartments the first week of June 2008. It was a little above our price range and I was a little hesitant after some of the poor reviews I had read, but I liked the look of the place and thought I'd take my chances. I am so glad I did,... more

The room was spacious and very... more

This hotel is one of the reasons you need to watch what you read on sites like tripadvisor! 9 times out of 10 Tripadvisor reviews is a great starting point for me but this hotel (ranking 1!) totally blew reason of previous reviewers! We were travelling from Las Vegas to Santa Monica and needed a hotel that day. On departure... more

If you're heading to Southern California and the LA area and need or want to be near the Getty Museum and the west side of LA, definitely book into this excellent hotel! My BF and I stayed 2 nights in early June and we loved it. It is a beautifully restored and maintained hotel/apartment building just blocks from the beach... more

Having traveled to Santa Monica on many occasions, I'm suprised I didnt find this superb hotel sooner! First the drawbacks. No restaurant and no swimming pool. For some, this maybe be a plus as it means this particular Hotel is very quite and of course there are plenty of fine restaurants in the area serving breakfast, lunch and dinner etc... more
