Santa Monica’s only sustainable boutique hotel provides luxurious accommodation in LA without denting your eco-conscience or your pocket – it’s well placed at the heart of the thriving neighbourhood, a hop away from Wilshire’s business district and the Pacific Ocean. Everything’s green here apart from the dark wood décor, with The Ambrose offering up a holistic approach to hospitality that features hybrid car rental, 24-hour organic in-room buffet catering and Zen-like gardens complete with koi ponds. But the hotel also doesn’t skimp on luxury, and you’ll be sure to have a comfortable stay in its spacious rooms. The Ambrose’s staff really love local too, and are keen to give you tips on what’s hot in Santa Monica – they’ll even take you there in their local London cab transport.
