If you’re traveling with a couple of kids in tow, the Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel makes a great base of operations. Two kids under 18 stay free and it’s close to Santa Monica’s beach and boardwalk. The 342-room has an oceanview pool, a spa and 24-hour in-room dining. The hotel’s signature restaurant serves up California fresh cuisine.

The Loews also offers guided Segway tours of Santa Monica that depart from the hotel lobby.
