A sense of the place
Why it's in the collection
Because a shingled Cape Cod beach house set straight on the Santa Monica sand holds Forbes Four-Star and a MICHELIN Key – and we list it at exactly the tier it holds.
- Forbes Four-Star 2026 for the hotel, listed here as exactly that, and One MICHELIN Key in 2025; a Virtuoso hotel of the Edward Thomas Collection, sister to Hotel Casa del Mar a few steps along the sand.
- 186 rooms and 12 suites at 1 Pico Boulevard, styled after a Cape Cod cottage, with direct access to the beach.
- 1 Pico and Coast for dining, the Living Room and Terrace for drinks, and One Spa.
- Pool days and cabanas above the beach path, and the pier ten minutes' walk north.
Suites and rates
Every rate is confirmed with you by the concierge before anything is booked — cancellation terms in plain language, no surprises.
The neighborhood
Santa Monica
Ocean Avenue along the bluff, the pier below it and the sand beyond – four hotels between Wilshire and Pico, two of them on the beach itself.
- Santa Monica Pier, a walk north along the beach path.
- Main Street's cafés and shops, a few blocks inland.
- Venice Beach and Abbot Kinney Boulevard, south along the sand.
