Looking for a hip hotel that is modern but not sterile? Look no further than the beautiful Viceroy Hotel located across from the beach in sunny Santa Monica, California. When the hotel opened two summers ago, critics went wild over the unusual decor – plates adorn the walls in both the waiting area and restaurant,and bright colors and patterns distinguish each of their 170 guest rooms. Such five-star amenities as Frette linens, Molton Brown haircare, flat screen televisions, and a stellar chef set the Viceroy apart. But little did they know that the Viceroy would also incorporate the most innovative spa in town – one on wheels! Partnering with Fred Segal Beauty, the Viceroy has created a spa that is literally delivered to your room. Looking for a unique gift for your modern mother? Nothing beats a weekend at the Viceroy with its fabulous views, glorious treatments, and glamorous shopping just a few steps away.
