  • Roughly a 15–20 minute drive to Santa Monica Pier (traffic dependent).
  • Street-level access to dining, theaters and business offices; urban setting with city noise typical of downtown.

  • About a 4-minute walk from Santa Monica Beach and a 6-minute walk from Santa Monica Pier.
  • Close to Third Street Promenade and Main Street shopping and dining.
  • Beachfront location means morning sea breezes and easy access to sand, surf and coastal walks.

Pick the Regent for straightforward beach access and a Santa Monica neighborhood feel.

Rooms: High-rise city rooms vs individually decorated ocean-adjacent rooms

The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites – Rooms

The Westin offers many room types across 1,358 rooms, from Traditional Rooms to 1-Bedroom Suites and Tower options.

  • Room types include Traditional Room, Grand Room, Studios and multiple 1-Bedroom Suite options (including Transfer Shower variants).
  • Many rooms offer panoramic city views because of the tower design.
  • Complimentary Wi‑Fi for Bonvoy members; rollaway and accessibility options available by request.

The Westin is best when you need a wide choice of rooms and consistent business-hotel amenities.

Regent Santa Monica Beach – Rooms

Regent Santa Monica Beach lists 167 individually decorated guestrooms with beachfront orientation.

  • Rooms feature minibars, flat-screen TVs, pillowtop beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, and private bathrooms with soaking tubs and rainfall showers.
  • Smaller property size means a more intimate feel compared with large downtown hotels.
  • Complimentary wireless internet and 24-hour room service are available.

Choose Regent for a smaller, boutique-feeling room inventory with ocean-proximate styling.

Dining & drinks: City steakhouses and a revolving lounge vs beachfront dining

The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites – Dining & drinks

The Westin pairs high-floor steakhouse dining and a revolving cocktail lounge with several casual outlets.

  • LA Prime is a fine-dining steakhouse on the 35th floor (reservations recommended; closed Mon–Tue).
  • BonaVista Lounge is a revolving bar offering 360-degree city views for sunset cocktails.
  • CafeNOW, Lakeview Bistro and Lobby Court provide grab-and-go, breakfast and casual options across the day.

If you want skyline dinners, a revolving bar and several on-site dining choices, the Westin delivers.

Regent Santa Monica Beach – Dining & drinks

Regent focuses on beachfront dining and ocean views with a signature restaurant and poolside service.

  • Orla by Michael Mina is the beachfront restaurant offering American cuisine and alfresco ocean views.
  • Two bars/lounges and a poolside bar support relaxed beachside drinking and light bites.
  • 24-hour room service is available; weekday full breakfasts are served for a surcharge.

Pick Regent for dining with ocean views and beachside alfresco options.

Pools & beach or signature amenity

The Westin's signature non-room amenity is its Plaza Pool Deck with city views, also used as an outdoor event space.

  • The Plaza Pool Deck doubles as a large outdoor event venue (45,000 sq ft) with a fire pit for receptions.
  • Pool is family-friendly and suitable for laps or casual swimming.

The Westin's pool shines for skyline views and event use more than for seaside lounging.

Regent Santa Monica Beach – Pools & beach or signature amenity

Regent's beachfront setting pairs a resort-style pool and beach access as its signature draw.

  • One outdoor pool and one hot tub with pool loungers and umbrellas (some cabanas available for a surcharge).
  • Resort fee covers beach loungers and towels; immediate beach access is a short walk.
  • Poolside bar and firepit seating for relaxed evenings near the water.

  • WestinWORKOUT® Fitness Studio (complimentary) with Peloton bikes and cardio/strength equipment.
  • DE SUAR (DESUAR Spa) on-site, independently operated, offering massages, facials and body treatments (10 AM–7 PM).
  • Downtown nightlife, theaters and concert venues are within walking distance for evening entertainment.

Choose the Westin for straightforward fitness options plus an independent spa and easy access to city nightlife.
