1950s retro beach hotel steps from Santa Monica Pier
Dining
The hotel's on-site restaurant, Chez Jay, serves classic American cuisine and is a Santa Monica institution known for its stiff martini. Chez Jay is located right next door to the hotel, offering guests a community-focused dining experience. This restaurant has been a local favorite since the 1960s and is part of the hotel's historical charm.
Rooms
Guest rooms feature 1950s California beach vintage-style architecture with modern amenities like air conditioning and flat-screen cable TVs. Select rooms offer ocean or mountain views, and the property includes family suites with multiple beds. Each room has a refrigerator, a work desk, and a private bathroom with a hairdryer.
Location
Ocean Lodge Santa Monica Beach Hotel is located on Ocean Avenue, just a 4-minute walk from Santa Monica Pier and Tongva Park.

Historical Connections
The hotel has historical ties to the Rat Pack era and was featured as the fictional home of Billy Bob Thornton's character in the Netflix series "Goliath."
