Top Western Malibu Hotel Reviews

Grand Vista Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Easy check in, room was great and shout to the overnight front desk agent. He had great attitude and made the stay better."

Cambria Hotel Calabasas - Malibu

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed here for two years in a row! We absolutely love the cambria, the atmosphere, the hotel and everything about it. Already planning for a weekend trip next year to this hotel again! Easy to drive down to Malibu or adventure around. If I could give a higher rating I would! See you next year Cambria Hotel Calabasas!!"

Shore Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My family of 5 stayed at The Shore Hotel for a week. We range in age from 6 years old to 40 years old, and all of us absolutely loved our stay! We arrived earlier than check In time and were contacted immediately when our room was ready 3 hours earlier than check in. The room was perfect and very soundproof, with the exception of the hallways. The pool is on the smaller side but very warm, and kid friendly. There are plenty of places to eat within walking distance which made our stay that much better. The staff was extremely helpful and go above and beyond to be helpful. The only 2 things that made our stay a little difficult are that there is no laundry area and the gym is not located in the hotel."

Santa Monica Proper Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Well located hotel perfectly positioned 10 mins walk to Santa Monica beach and pier, shopping area and restaurants. The hotel is beautifully designed and its decor is trendy, with lots of chilled public spaces which shout chillax in every area. Top interior design shines through. The staff at the main desk were helpful and lovely, as were the restaurant team. Room was beatifully appointed. Airy and spacious with lovely modern bathroom, stocked fridge, plenty of device charging (including USB-C…thank you!), huge TV and welcoming decor. The gym is excellent - even with a reformer Pilates machine and Zwift static bike. Final shout to the parking valet team, always quick and helpful. We won’t visit often as we’re UK based, however we have already booked again for one night before we head to Coachella Festival next April."
