Local before arrival
What does it feel like to see the Santa Monica Pier from your glassed-in shower? With the Pacific right at its doorsteps, the 164-room Shore Hotel, which opened in 2011, sets great store by sustainability and environmentalism—built to the highest standards, its future water and energy use is exemplary. And yet, the hotel does not skimp with great comfort and design. Every room has a balcony and elegant, streamlined furniture in colors that match the beach and the sea.
