USA | IHG's Regent Santa Monica Beach has officially re-opened its doors following a reimagined renovation and refurbishment.
Regent Santa Monica Beach, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, reintroduces the legendary Regent name to Los Angeles and becomes the brand’s first flagship property within the Americas.
The legendary Regent brand returns to the shores of the United States with the opening of Regent Santa Monica Beach. This elegant beachfront resort cements the reimagined Regent brand and the beauty of contrast by combining the glamour of Los Angeles with the splendour of the coast.
Originally located in Beverly Hills, and famously known as the setting for the film “Pretty Woman,” Regent returns along one of the nation’s most celebrated beaches and just steps from the famed Santa Monica Pier. The destination resort will deliver inspired stays through a blend of timeless elegance and modern luxury and is poised to usher in a new era of extraordinary experiences. Regent Santa Monica Beach will set a new standard with its luxuriously spacious guestrooms — with base rooms starting at a generous 720 square feet — and suites, inviting public spaces, spectacular restaurants, and an elevated pool deck overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
“It is an honour to reintroduce this legacy brand to Southern California and ignite a new era of unforgettable memories for our guests in Santa Monica. Our resort captures the unique allure of Santa Monica in a serene setting where you can disconnect from the outside world and experience Regent’s legendary hospitality on your terms,” said Younes Atallah, General Manager of Regent Santa Monica Beach.
The design direction is helmed by Chantell Walsh of Strategic Hotels & Resorts, alongside lauded design firms. Regarded as one of the world’s most innovative design firms, AvroKO’s San Francisco studio looked to luxury fashion and the ocean’s natural beauty to inspire its meticulous and thoughtful design including framed views and distinct personal havens for Regent Santa Monica Beach.
Found throughout the resort’s public spaces are creative details reflecting boat sails, yachts journeying in the Mediterranean, and sandy textures found in the endless natural beauty of the ocean. Accompanying such details are framed brass arch ways, brass detailing, yacht-style flooring, and green hues coupled with gold- and cream-coloured accents to create a bright and airy ambiance.
