Le Merigot is across the street from the beach and two blocks from Santa Monica Pier, two blocks from the Civic Auditorium and 15 miles from Downtown. (Location, location, location.) Cezanne, the hotel's French-inspired restaurant, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. There's also a fitness center, sauna, steam room, European spa and an outdoor pool. Most of the 175 guest rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, and all have goosedown comforters, Frette linens, marble-top desks, high-speed Internet access and marble bathrooms. But with everything else the place has to offer, why hang out in the room?
