A Historic Santa Monica Hotel with Residential Character

Maison Twenty Seven is one of Santa Monica’s distinctive historic hotel properties.

Originally constructed in 1927, the building features Spanish Colonial Revival and Mediterranean-inspired architecture, with decorative wrought iron, balconies, covered walkways, landscaped gardens and inviting courtyards.

The property was previously known as the Embassy Hotel Apartments before operating as Palihouse Santa Monica.

Its current identity, Maison Twenty Seven, reflects a renewed emphasis on intimate hospitality and the experience of staying in a private coastal residence.

Rather than emphasizing large-scale resort facilities, the hotel offers individually designed accommodations and peaceful common spaces.

For guests seeking the same level of privacy and convenience in their ground transportation, In Style Transportation provides prearranged chauffeur service with professional drivers and luxury vehicles.
