Celebrate Your Way on the California Coast
Some moments simply call for a celebration. At Viceroy Santa Monica, milestone occasions come to life with the effortless energy of the California coast. Gather beneath the palms, toast poolside, linger over dinner and cocktails, or make a weekend of it just steps from the Pacific. From birthdays and anniversaries to showers, reunions and intimate gatherings, our distinctive indoor-outdoor spaces, inspired food and drink, and dedicated event team make every celebration feel entirely your own.

Big milestones. Intimate gatherings. And all the reasons to celebrate in between. Whether you're planning cocktails under the palms, an unforgettable birthday dinner or a weekend that brings everyone together, Viceroy Santa Monica sets the scene with spaces that transition effortlessly from day to night.
Birthdays & Milestones
Another trip around the sun deserves something memorable. Celebrate over dinner and cocktails, gather poolside with friends, or turn a milestone birthday into a full Santa Monica getaway.
Anniversaries
Toast to what's been and what's still to come with an intimate dinner, a relaxed gathering beneath the palms, or a coastal escape made for two — and everyone you want there to celebrate with you.
Showers & Celebratory Brunches
From bridal and baby showers to engagement brunches and daytime gatherings, our sun-filled indoor-outdoor spaces offer a fresh California setting for life's happiest occasions.
Reunions & Social Gatherings
Bring your favorite people back together. Flexible gathering spaces, on-site dining and accommodations make Viceroy Santa Monica an easy home base for reconnecting and celebrating.
Holiday & Private Parties
Trade the expected for a celebration with coastal energy. Host cocktails, dinner or a festive reception in a setting that brings a little Santa Monica sunshine to every occasion.
Keep the Celebration Going With A Stay Just Steps From The Ocean
With guestrooms and suites designed for relaxed coastal retreats, floor-to-ceiling windows and ocean, pool or city views invite you to stay awhile. For a little more room to settle in, spacious suites offer separate living areas and elevated comforts — ideal for turning one special occasion into an unforgettable Santa Monica escape.
Spaces Made for Celebrating
From cocktails beneath the palms to dinner indoors, Viceroy Santa Monica offers distinctive spaces for celebrations of every style. Take over the Backyard for an open-air affair, settle into a private pool cabana, gather around the bar at Sugar Palm, or bring the party indoors. With flexible settings and a dedicated event and catering team, the backdrop is yours to make your own.
Sugar Palm Santa Monica Restaurant
Just like its relaxed neighborhood on the edge of the ocean, this bar and restaurant exude effortless energy without a dash of pretension. It’s the ultimate indoor/outdoor scene, and the vibrant social hub of Viceroy Santa Monica.
Sugar Palm Cabanas
Enjoy the chic coastal vibe of our Sugar Palm cabanas. Perfect for intimate — and intoxicating — events. Dress them up or down with lounge seating, flat screen TVs and Wi-Fi.
Sugar Palm Backyard Bar
Celebrate while cradled under the palms. This large outdoor space surrounds you with nature, keeping you secluded yet inspired. Relax at the wraparound bar, which even winds back inside to the restaurant.
Sugar Palm & Backyard Pool Buyout
This is the see-and-be-seen space, soothed with laidback California style. The pool deck features outdoor/indoor dining and bar service through Sugar Palm Ocean Avenue.
Pool Cabanas
Spaces that put you in a vacation state of mind. Gather around the pool and under the palms in a private cabana — perfect for letting ideas, laughs and drinks flow.
The Markham Meeting Room
For stylish gatherings with artful touches — the Markham is your calling card. It takes its name from the episode of Modern Family that was filmed at Viceroy Santa Monica (the hotel was named the “Markham”). With two walls of floor-to-ceiling frosted windows, any type of event will be filled with natural light and vibrancy.
Merryvale
Business doesn’t have to be boring. Our Merryvale boardroom brings the vibe, as we wire and inspire you for brainstorms, board meetings, corporate retreats and more.
The Kingsley Meeting Room
The palm tree encompassed pièce de résistance. The Kingsley is Viceroy’s largest indoor space, and is situated in the center of it all.
Vantage Boardroom
From the eighth floor, your perspective will be dynamic and inspiring. Welcome to Vantage Boardroom, a private event space with sleek residential appeal. It’s a spacious boardroom, complete with permanent 10-seater board table, looking out toward the Hollywood Hills.
