Years ago, 849 Ocean Avenue was a respectable apartment complex where Stan Laurel (of Laurel & Hardy) once lived. Yet its location, and the lively neighborhood in which it stood, begged for innovation. Visionaries took control and converted the structure into the Oceana Santa Monica, a luxury hotel catering to those who command the privacy and comforts of a home away from home environment.
Today the hotel has reopened after a $16 million renovation to offer the ambience of a decadent beach club, as airy as the shores it overlooks. Sophisticated, colorful décor and world-class personalized service converge amid the opulent amenities of this Southern Californian retreat. Suites offer residential appeal, inviting guests to stay the weekend or the season. Dining is award-winning and full of Pacific flavor. Come through Santa Monica to stay awhile and bask in the beachfront luxury of Oceana.
