The grandest of the opulent
Santa Monica beach clubs, dating from the city`s booming "Gold Coast"
years, is again one of the most luxurious hotels on the Pacific
coast. Built in 1926, the hotel`s 129 elegant guest rooms and suites,
including three magnificent two-story penthouses, feature incomparable
panoramas of the Pacific Ocean, from Malibu to Palos Verdes. Luxurious
guest rooms evoke the mood and style of the Italian and French Rivieras.
Opulent baths with frosted, white-paned windows open onto the guest
