What guests say about the pool
In their own words
We thoroughly enjoyed the rooftop bar and restaurant, as well as the pool area.
The centerpiece of the hotel is undoubtedly the stunning Rooftop Pool and Calabra Restaurant. Offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Santa Monica cityscape, this area is a pure coastal oasis.
The rooftop pool is the only one you’ll find in the area, so nab a sunbed or treat yourself to an alcove for the day for that added relaxation – no need to move, just have your drinks and food delivered to you, they’ll even supply the suncream, you’ll need it on those summer days.
