Luxury dog-friendly hotels in Santa Monica, United States

Santa Monica’s like LA’s fun little sister: related but more playful. It’s where Angelenos come to hang thanks to its broad beach and nostalgic pier, lined with carousels and carefree arcades. But there’s substance, too: a food scene to rival LA’s, including a celebrated SoCal farmers’ market, and dive bars where Marilyn and JFK hid. Venice is a bike ride along the boardwalk and LAX is close by, so you can cut straight from hub to hotel in no time.
