Loews Santa Monica Proffers New Family Offers

LOS ANGELES (June 21, 2016) – Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel, a breezy beachfront hideaway, is located steps from the sand of one of California's most celebrated beaches. Situated directly across from the Santa Monica Pier and within walking distance of all of the area's attractions, the hotel is the perfect place to call home base for families looking for an authentic Southern California vacation experience. The fun begins at check-in where guests will receive a welcome amenity of popcorn, cotton candy and/ or other treats.

The hotel is thrilled to be introducing their new Family Concierge, who can create customized, memorable experiences including entrance to Los Angeles' hard-to-get-into attractions. This service is available for families booking premium rooms (and above) at the property and will be arranged prior to arrival. Some experiences include:

· Kids' "Beach in a Box" – receive chairs, towels, toys, and more set-up on the beach

· A driver and fully outfitted SUV (with snacks, sunscreen, beach toys) to get around Los Angeles

· VIP access to studio tours and theme parks

· A personal guide for the La Brea Tar Pits and National History Museum

· Direct Reservations to Au Fudge, the new restaurant and kid-zone owned by actress Jessica Biel

· Audience tickets to shows such as "The Voice" (when filming)

The hotel is also rolling out a new poolside pampering program beginning Fourth of July weekend on their recently redesigned pool deck, which offers panoramic ocean views. Guests soaking in the California sunshine will be treated to chilled towels, smoothies, frozen grapes and more. Kids will delight in frozen treats from the Beach Barn's ice cream cart, and a dedicated kid-zone with a lending library of pool and beach toys. On weekends, families can enjoy a special "California Grill," serving up traditional grilled favorites with a SoCal flair, and delight in watching the sunset over s'mores by one of the new 13 firepits.

All of the spacious guestrooms and suites at the hotel have been redesigned, bringing the colors and patterns of the ocean and sand indoors, with crisp white shutters maximizing the spectacular views and exuding a modern bungalow feel. The hotel recently added firepits to the private outdoor terraces of 35 rooms and suites, where guests can enjoy a sunset dinner ordered from on-site restaurant Ocean & Vine, and take in the lights of the landmark Santa Monica Pier.
