Continuing Our Series on How Big is a 250-Room Hotel

In previous posts, we have reported on some proposed Santa Monica hotel projects and their size, to give you an idea as to how big the 250-room hotel/conference center proposed by UCLA really is.  But rather than focus on proposed hotels, here are some statistics on actual hotels in the area that were reported as part of a proposal to remodel the Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica.


Santa Monica
   Miramar Hotel.............296 rooms
   Casa Del Mar..............129 rooms
   Shutters on the Beach.....198 rooms


Beverly Hills
   Beverly Hills Hotel.......210 rooms
   Beverly Wilshire..........395 rooms
   Montage...................201 rooms
   Peninsula Hotel...........193 rooms


Los Angeles
   Four Seasons LA...........285 rooms
   Hotel Bel Air.............103 rooms


Bottom line: A 250-room hotel would be among the largest in the Westside area.
