Santa Monica｜Cozy French-Inspired Vintage Estate Hotel 🪴✨

This time in Santa Monica, I chose to stay at Palihouse Santa Monica for a few days—and ended up absolutely loving it! 💛 🏡 The Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, paired with lush, green courtyards, makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a European noble’s estate. Every corner is photo-worthy—so much atmosphere! 📸 🌺 The hotel itself isn’t huge, but it’s filled with floral touches everywhere. The lobby has a subtle, lovely scent that makes you relax the moment you walk in. I’d definitely stay here again! 🪴 🌊 It’s just a 10-minute walk to Santa Monica Beach. Stroll along the shore in the afternoon, feel the ocean breeze, watch the sunset—and soak up that slow Southern California lifestyle. 🌅 ☕ They serve breakfast and lunch here. Sipping coffee in the courtyard, basking in the sun, daydreaming… you’ll slip right into vacation mode. 🌿🌊💫 However, if you prefer modern, updated rooms, this might not be for you. The hotel leans into a vintage aesthetic—the elevator has old-fashioned manual doors, the stairs aren’t very soundproof, and bathrooms are on the smaller side. 📍 Palihouse Santa Monica Have you stayed here before?
