Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica

Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica today announces the completion of a comprehensive $16 million renovation that reimagines the coastal California experience for modern travelers in the heart of Santa Monica. The transformation, which began in 2024 and wrapped this fall, introduces a vibrant new design aesthetic across all 315 guestrooms alongside 15,000 square feet of innovative meeting spaces and a new all-day restaurant that sets a new standard for corporate wellness and celebratory gatherings in this iconic coastal city.

As part of the Hyatt Centric brand—which connects guests to the heart of the action in centrally located destinations—the property exemplifies the brand's commitment to delivering exceptional hotel experiences in the most sought-after neighborhoods. The extensive redesign by Waldrop + Nichols Studio brings to life a kaleidoscope of coastal-inspired colors that balance tranquility with curiosity, capturing Santa Monica's signature, coastal-chic sophistication.

The property operates under the Hyatt Centric brand, emphasizing its prime walkable location and seamless access to the wider West L.A. business and leisure markets, making it an inspired home base for both work and play. With a namesake meaning "dolphin" in Spanish—a nod to Santa Monica's heritage—Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica blends vibrant seaside energy, modern design, and long-standing hospitality excellence.

Innovative Meeting Spaces Redefine Corporate Wellness

Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica is set to be Santa Monica's preeminent gathering ground for meetings and events; a dynamic business hub infused with the city's one-of-a-kind coastal flair and thoughtfully elevated hospitality designed for today's corporate traveler. The renovation introduces 11 versatile event spaces designed to inspire meaningful connection. The crown jewel is the 4,526-square-foot Delfina Ballroom—Santa Monica's only rooftop ballroom—offering panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Santa Monica Mountains. The penthouse space accommodates up to 400 guests for receptions and can be configured for professional events ranging from theater-style presentations (400 capacity) to classroom settings (270 capacity).

Breaking convention, the property introduces Sandbox, a 500-square-foot game-room-style venue on the mezzanine level featuring darts, shuffleboard, games, workstations, and a bar. Built for team-building and networking, Sandbox transforms corporate gatherings into engaging experiences that prioritize wellness and authentic connection, accommodating up to 120 guests for receptions or 50 in theater setup. Perfect for corporate travelers or groups seeking inspired meeting environments, flexible gathering spaces, and an authentic sense of place in the heart of Santa Monica, the hotel stands as a revitalized hub for collaboration, creativity, and community.

Coastal Harvest Bar & Kitchen Opens as Community Culinary Destination

Central to the renovation is the debut of Coastal Harvest Bar & Kitchen, an all-day restaurant welcoming both hotel guests and the wider Santa Monica community. The sun-kissed dining room serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner featuring California-inspired cuisine crafted with locally sourced and sustainable ingredients. The stylish lounge on Pico Boulevard offers a vibrant social scene for handcrafted cocktails, wine, and craft beer, positioning the restaurant as a neighborhood gathering place that extends beyond the hotel's walls.

A New Era of Coastal Comfort Driven by Design

The hotel's reimagined design draws directly from the locale: soft curves inspired by ocean waves, a palette echoing beach sand and sunsets, and familiar textures reminiscent of the iconic Santa Monica Pier. The uplifting airy feel of the lobby sets the stage, greeting guests with a breezy, sun-washed warmth and an inviting sense of ease. Throughout the property, organic shapes, ocean-inspired materials, and contemporary furnishings create an atmosphere that feels relaxed yet refined—an energized coastal living room where guests can gather, work, or socialize.

The renovation also introduces seven exclusive Sunset Suites, each featuring a private oceanview balcony complete with a whirlpool hot tub perfect for relaxing while watching Santa Monica's famed sunsets over the Pacific. Across all 315 bright and inviting redesigned guestrooms, intentional design touches blend Santa Monica's relaxed beach aesthetic with a contemporary yet bold palette, offering plush bedding, modern décor, and private balconies framing ocean, mountain, city, or pool views.
