The Spotlight on The Ambrose Hotel

Tranquil Boutique Stay Just Minutes from the Santa Monica Beat

Modern and eco-conscious, The Ambrose Hotel offers a peaceful retreat in a quiet residential pocket of Santa Monica. Just a short drive from the buzzing Santa Monica Pier and 3rd Street Promenade, this boutique hotel blends California-cool style with sustainable comfort. Expect thoughtful perks like free Wi-Fi, plush robes, and a wellness-centered vibe that’s perfect after a night of music and fun.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the serene location that's still incredibly convenient—just a 5-minute drive to major venues and nightlife. The hotel offers free transportation within 3.1 miles, making it easy to get to shows without the hassle of parking. After the encore, come back to a quiet, restful space with late check-out at 12:00 PM for a more relaxed morning. Plus, the on-site 24-hour fitness center is great for recharging the next day.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want a stylish and chill base close to music action
  • Solo travelers catching a special performance and seeking comfort & quiet
  • Couples making a weekend getaway out of a concert night
  • Fans in need of a calm space to unwind after the show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value in a boutique setting

Food and Drink Options

While there's no on-site restaurant, The Ambrose offers in-room dining from 7 AM to 7 PM, featuring healthy, locally-sourced options—ideal for a light, post-gig bite or a morning-after breakfast in bed. The mini-bar is stocked with healthy local snacks, and you’re just a short walk or rideshare away from Santa Monica’s top eateries and late-night dining spots.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is more about tranquility than turntables, you’re only minutes away from Santa Monica’s vibrant bar and club scene. Hit nearby lounges, beachside bars, or catch another round of live music at local venues. Then retreat to The Ambrose for a quiet night’s sleep.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s peaceful atmosphere and eco-friendly focus. Reviewers love the friendly staff, free bike rentals, and the clean, modern rooms. The location earns high marks for being both convenient and calm—a rare combo in LA.

Areas for Improvement

There’s no on-site bar or late-night dining, so if you're after a midnight snack or cocktail, you’ll need to head out. Also, the vibe is more zen than party—great for recovery, but maybe too quiet for those looking to keep the night going.

The Bottom Line

If you want a stylish, peaceful spot to recharge after a concert—without straying far from the action—The Ambrose Hotel hits all the right notes.

Overal brilliant.

Liked: Loved the free beer and wine in the evenings, free bikes and comp Tesla rides were ace.
Disliked: Only making your beds up every three days wasn’t good enough, using sustainability as an excuse didn’t cut it with me.
