Maison Twenty Seven Santa Monica: Formerly Palihouse Hotel
As soon as we walked into the hotel, we knew it was going to be an incredible stay. The front courtyard was stunning and as you walked in to check in there were beautiful blue walls and thoughtful furniture touches. There was so much art and so many details to look at. Walking out back into the greenery set the perfect scene.
During our stay, the hotel had bikes we could rent out and we were within walking distance to downtown Santa Monica. One of the best things about Santa Monica is how bike-friendly it is, so you really do not need a car to get around.
Rooms at the Former Palihouse, Now Maison Twenty Seven
Anytime I can escape past the normal white walls and find some personality in a hotel bedroom, I’m always excited. The rooms were spacious and our window even opened out to the courtyard. The different wallpaper patterns were so fun and added to the stay.
