This hotel is seriously plush and the decor is both unique and beautiful. Like nothing I've ever seen in the US. Our room was equally gorgeous - but I was glad it was on the fifth floor because the hotel has a nightclub on the ground floor which attracts lots of glitzy/glamourous people (so, not a seedy club) but it...

Had an amazing stay for a mix of business and pleasure at the Viceroy. I spend a lot of time online, so doing a little work while relaxing in the cabanas by the pool was really perfect for me. I ordered lots of coffee (which was excellent considering I'm from Seattle), and followed that with cocktails. My girlfriend and I... More

We stayed at Viceroy for a wedding and barely even left the hotel. We rented a cabana at the pool one day and stayed there for hours. Breakfast and dinners at the restaurant were top quality. We were a quick walk to great shopping on Main St. in Venice as well as the Santa Monica promenade. It was the perfect... More

We decided to stay at a hotel last minute and the Viceroy took care of us like we had been staying with them for years. It was New Year's Eve and we were given complimentary champagne upon arrival, helped with our bags and room service was super quick even though it was very busy. The decor was amazing and we... More

On our way back from a US trade show to the UK - only an overnight stay but I wish it had been longer. Great venue, great food and great staff who went the extra mile. We will be back. More

Having stayed previously at the Viceroy in Palm Springs, we knew what to expect and were not disappointed. It may be considered expensive, but if you can't afford it you don't go!! it is lively and vibrant with an excellent restaurant and a bar that "buzzes". Wonderfully friendly and helpful staff who cannot do enough for you, especially James Vierra,... More

Roamingroto- Thank you for the very inclusive review. I shared your comments with the team and especially about James our Concierge. We did in fact single him out for special praise in our monthly meeting yesterday. We are very proud to have him on our team! Warm Regards, Troy Pade Hotel Manager More

The Viceroy is comtemporary and chic. Very attentive service from check in to check out - staff were most helpful at all times. Great food in the bar and restaurant with breakfast being a real treat with some innovative options. Agree with LucianoSF that it is a little pricey and would have expected free WiFi with the tarrif amount. It... More

The hotel is very nice and the staff friendliness and service certainy surpassed my expectations. I enjoyed the decor and the room is well equipped. Overall, I had a very nice experience. That said, I wouldn't pay more than $300/night for this hotel in the future. A few of the reasons (and areas for improvement): - the shower head in... More

You have no idea what lies in store for you from the exterior. First rate inside. Check-in was wonderful, almost overwhelming with the valet, bellman and then a chair and champagne - Wow. Room was great and the shower was awesome. Dinner in the restaurant was outstanding and a visit by the chef made it even more special. More
