Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica

With its picture-perfect stretches of sand, nostalgia-inducing, amusement ride-filled pier, and trendy restaurants, Santa Monica is arguably among SoCal’s coolest — and most dynamic — destinations.

Bask in the city’s easygoing vibes at Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica, an upscale resort-style hotel that’s just minutes away from the sand and surf but boasts a slew of its own noteworthy amenities. Check out our full review below. 

What You Need to Know

The Look of Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica

Housed in a contemporary high-rise building, Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica is unassuming from the outside, but stylish and relaxed on the inside. Before walking through its doors, guests will notice a chic outdoor seating area with lots of greenery, cushy couches and chairs, and pops of yellows and blue. The contemporary lobby area offers more of the same — with the addition of wooden accents, striking chandeliers, and plenty of gray couches to lounge on. Similarly, the all-day Coastal Harvest Bar & Kitchen boasts a bright, airy aesthetic thanks to its sun-drenched space and cheery yellow seating. 

The coastal-inspired look continues in the guest rooms and suites, which are done up in different blues, whites, and creams alongside beachy artwork. Expect funky accent walls and patterns, too. Pro tip: Consider springing on a suite with a hot tub-equipped balcony overlooking the pier.
