Crescent Hotels & Resorts Opens New Sandbourne Santa Monica, Autograph Collection
Crescent Hotels & Resorts, the nationally recognized operator of hotels and resorts in the United States and Canada, proudly announces the grand opening of the Sandbourne Santa Monica, Autograph Collection. With an emphasis on engaging all five senses, Sandbourne Santa Monica is a multisensory retreat and will join the Latitudes: Lifestyles by Crescent portfolio.
Situated with direct access to the iconic Santa Monica Beach, Sandbourne offers a stylish coastal oasis where urban meets beach. Designed by acclaimed architect Gulla Jónsdóttir, the 175 coastal guest room property is a blend of natural textures, sculptural elements, and décor featuring clay pottery, lush greenery, and Earth tones throughout. Amongst the design concept standouts is a stylish lobby with a color palette inspired by the sea and sand complemented by an abundance of plants.
The highly-anticipated opening introduces a transformative hotel experience with an Artists-in-Residency program, offering a hand-selected group of ceramics artists the opportunity to create pieces and showcase their art on the property. To complement the program, guests can participate in the signature activation, Ceramics by the Pool, a 45-minute pinch pot clay class guided by a local ceramics artist. Additional property amenities include a heated pool with plush cabanas, a private on-site dog park, and 10,000 square feet of event space. 2025 will bring the addition of a full-service wellness spa.
The culinary scene at The Sandbourne Santa Monica brings an immersive experience with Marelle, the onsite restaurant led by Santa Monica native Chef Raphael Lunetta, under the creative direction of Jónsdóttir. The 187-seat venue transports guests through a journey of bold taste and design, featuring California-inspired cuisine. Guests can also enjoy poolside service at the Pool & Sunset Lounge, cocktails at the Lobby Bar, and in-room dining.
