Stroll from the Beach into 1920s L.A.
The Sovereign opened in 1929 as the residential palace of Santa Monica—an oasis to escape whatever terrible weather people were experiencing in their hometowns. This mission still holds true. Stroll one block off the Palisades Park clifftop walk onto a quiet residential street, through the beautiful wrought-iron gates, and right into 1920s Spanish-Revival Los Angeles: hang out on the stunning ocean breeze terrace, relax in the Jazz Age lobby, explore the historic library, and then head up to your fun, fully-equipped seaside retreat. Onsite staff will greet and guide you.
The Hotel
Lovingly Preserved & Updated

You’ll find everything you need in an atmosphere of playful 1920s sophistication: free parking, laundry, kitchenettes, and helpful staff in a residential environment.
