Regent Santa Monica Beach introduces a new expression of laid-back luxury along Ocean Avenue, where the energy of Los Angeles meets the serenity of the Pacific. The interiors embrace their coastal setting through refined softness—sun-washed tones, flowing silhouettes, thoughtful in-room details, and expansive views that draw the ocean into every space. Recognized with a Michelin Key in its first year, the property now stands among the world’s leading hotels, offering an experience that is both distinctly glamorous and effortlessly Californian.

​

The art collection was conceived as an invitation for guests to engage with the creative spirit of Los Angeles while immersed in the natural beauty of Santa Monica. Anchored by a strong emphasis on Californian artists—an area in which Ryan Art Advisory brings deep expertise and longstanding relationships—the program celebrates the region’s artistic voice through material richness, emotional resonance, and a spirit of innovation. The collection introduces artists not traditionally exhibited in hospitality settings, bringing a museum-caliber perspective and cultural depth to the guest experience.

​

Drawing on more than three decades of curatorial and procurement experience, Ryan Art Advisory curated, sourced, and installed a comprehensive collection across 143 guestrooms and 24 suites, delivering original and editioned works across a range of mediums. Executed within an expedited schedule, the collection feels both sophisticated and deeply human, reflecting California’s artistic heritage, its evolving creative landscape, and the effortless elegance of Regent Santa Monica Beach.
