Really beautiful and charming classic La style building. In the perfect part of Santa Monica. Not a traditional Hotel, and much more charming as a result. Beautiful views of the Malibu mountains from our room

Loved the view from the balcony view. The room was absolutely beautiful. The staff was friendly and helpful. You can walk to the beach and to restaurants. The neighborhood is calm. Despite the hotel being older it was very modern.

The hotel was lovely and in a great location. We were within walking distance to the Pier, beach and restaurants. The parking was a little difficult due to it being on street parking.

What an amazing stay at The Sovereign! The room was super clean, spacious and the bed was comfy. Our host was nice and welcoming. The location is awesome, sale, clean, near shops and coffee but also, only 2 streets from the Santa Monica beach! Without any doubts we advise you The Sovereign!

A Truly Beautiful and Memorable Stay at The Sovereign! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an absolutely wonderful experience! From the moment we arrived at The Sovereign, we fell in love with the charm, elegance, and incredible beauty of this property. The architecture is simply stunning, full of character and timeless details that make this place feel truly special. There is something so enchanting about a property that preserves its unique personality and history so beautifully. The location is fantastic, making it even easier to appreciate everything the surrounding area has to offer. Every corner of the property has its own charm, and we genuinely enjoyed the atmosphere and beauty of the surroundings. What made our stay even more memorable, however, was the kindness and hospitality of the staff. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and gracious. We especially want to recognize the management for their warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. It’s wonderful to stay somewhere that not only looks beautiful but also makes its guests feel so appreciated. We left with such lovely memories and a genuine appreciation for this beautiful place and the people who make it so special. Thank you, The Sovereign, for such a delightful experience! We would happily return and wholeheartedly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for charm, beauty, a wonderful location, and exceptional hospitality.

As someone who travels 30 weeks a year for work, I can honestly say this was the best experience I have had in years. Easy check in, amazing property and room, location 10/10. I want to move in here. Perfect for work or vacation. Fast internet, full kitchen, a block from the beach, 3 blocks to Promenade. Can’t say enough good things.

Excellent location in Santa Monica. Realize when you book this is not a typical hotel. No service in room entire time you are there. No A/C although overhead fans work well. Full kitchen a plus if you need/ want that. Lovely gardens to sit in behind gated area.

Absolutely loved my stay at Sovereign! I would live there if I could 😂 Behind a gated door entrance there is a courtyard with pretty flower beds (flowers also outside the property on the sidewalk). The foyer is tastefully decorated and welcoming. I had a junior suite...more of a studio apartment. All the furniture complimented the style of the area and was colour coordinated. Fully kitted kitchen with cutlery, crockery and cookware provided. Coffee machine with complimentary pods/creamers. Bathroom had a shower and full bath. Separate vanity area with sink, drawers, sockets and counter top. Which I managed to fill with all my bits and pieces! Very homely. Lounge area with wall mounted TV and a sofa for chilling after a busy day. Plenty of storage space for clothes and toiletries. The studio was immaculate. I only had an issue with one thing due to a communication error and the manager went out of her way to be helpful 🙏 Very quiet and safe location to walk (as a solo female traveller). A few blocks from the beach, pier and Santa Monica shopping mall. I would recommend Palisades park for beautiful sunset views out at the sea. Easy 5-10min walk. Easy walk to bus stops/metro to go into LA. I will defo return to The Sovereign!
