About this apartment rental
Across the street from Santa Monica Beach, The Beacon, built in 1928, transports you back to Old Hollywood. Lounge in an art deco cabana and dip your toes in the hot tub. Catch a Pacific sunset while sipping a tropical drink from rooftop bar, The Coco Club. Through the lobby, Layla features delicious Middle Eastern dishes and elevated cocktails in a stylish setting. It's your stay for relaxation. Each room features modern amenities with a classic touch — soaking bathtubs for winding down and a Roku TV to binge your latest series. Downstairs, the fitness room has free weights and treadmills. You'll have several hiking options nearby, like Los Liones Canyon Trail. Play classic carnival games on the Santa Monica Pier, or ride the only solar-powered Ferris wheel in the world. Endless food options are nearby, starting with the locally sourced catch of the day at The Albright. From sunny beaches and state parks to Downtown LA, The Beacon has it all.
Our top-floor rooms are located under a late-night bar, so you might hear a bit of nightlife buzz. We've installed earplugs and white noise machines to help you sleep, but if you're a light sleeper, another room may be more suitable.

We loved staying at Sonder The Beacon. The staff was friendly and helpful. The pool area was wonderful along with the rooftop bar with a spectacular view. The location was perfect for walking everywhere with plenty of restaurants & shopping close by. I would definitely stay here again!

Excellent location right on the Santa Monica waterfront a few blocks from the pier. Room was a bit dated and no hot water in the shower, which was strange given the faucet in the bathroom had hot water. Bed’s really comfortable. Nice rooftop bar with excellent service. I think the property is just getting up and running again…. We didn’t have a kitchen. That was on me not reading the room description correctly I guess…. Would stay again

We were fortunate to get an early check in. The heavy rain Friday made us appreciate the spacious two room suite as we stayed in using air play to watch the TV and soaked in the jacuzzi tub to get warm after getting soaked going out for a meal and groceries. Saturday my son played in a club volleyball tournament on the Santa Monica beach which was an easy walk across the pedestrian bridge and down some stairs. Close enough to walk back when I forgot something. We checked out the roof top bar in the afternoon - lovely views and popular with locals. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. There were lots of places to eat in a walkable distance as well as a Target and Trader Joes. Saturday morning there was a farmers market a block away. We will stay again.

I had a terrible experience at this Sonder which included poor customer service, plumbing issues in both bathrooms, no wifi for 2 days, broken promises about an upgrade and no compensation.

Our flight to LA was delayed by over 4 hours. We didn’t arrive until late Sunday night. Checkin was no problem and our rooms at Sonder’s The Beacon, were amazing, as advertised. Comfort, convenience and communication were perfect. It allowed us to focus on our busy 2 days of meetings. We will definitely be staying here again next time we are in town.

We had a fantastic time. Front desk staff are wonderful and very helpful. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The view of the ocean from our window is incredible! Will definitely stay again.
