Santa Monica's beachfront hotels offer more than just a place to sleep-they provide a dedicated spot to soak after a long day of sightseeing or lounging on the sand. Whether you want a private jacuzzi tub in your room, a heated outdoor hot tub with ocean views, or a poolside spa experience, these nine hotels in Santa Monica deliver on that specific amenity. From the eco-conscious Shore Hotel to the design-forward Huntley Santa Monica Beach, each property pairs its jacuzzi perk with a prime location near the pier, Third Street Promenade, or the beach path. You'll find options ranging from mid-range stays with free breakfast to luxury properties with full-service spas, and most include free Wi-Fi, fitness centers, and family-friendly layouts.
Budget-wise, expect nightly rates from around $200 for a standard room at a hotel like the Hampton Inn & Suites Santa Monica, up to $800 or more for an oceanfront suite at Casa Del Mar or Fairmont Miramar. For the best value, consider staying a few blocks inland near the 3rd Street Promenade, where you'll still have easy access to the beach but pay less for parking and dining. Pro tip: if an in-room jacuzzi is a must, book a room with a step-out balcony at the Regent Santa Monica Beach by IHG-it overlooks the Pacific and comes with a minibar, but you'll want to confirm the jacuzzi placement with the hotel directly before paying. Also, note that some properties, like Shore Hotel, feature a hot tub rather than in-room tubs, so read the fine print or call ahead to match your exact expectation.
