Travel

These recommendations include hotels at the low, mid and high-end luxury range. Right now, some room rates can be found lower online than the rates we could guarantee in a room block as we are 7 months out. Hotels in Santa Monica average $300+/night. In addition to the MDR Hilton listed here, more value hotels ($250 or under) can be found in Marina Del Ray. Note though that the Marina is 20 minutes to the wedding venue which is located on the PCH in the Palisades. The Palisades is nestled in between Santa Monica and Malibu. If you are thinking of booking an AirBNB you may find it challenging to find any in Santa Monica as city laws do not allow rental properties unless the owner lives on the property. So your best bet is to search Venice, Marina Del Ray, The Pacific Palisades and Malibu!
