Iconic Santa Monica Hotel Shuts Down

Did you hear? The legendary Shangri-La Hotel in Santa Monica (recently renamed The Beacon) just closed after 86 years! Travelers are freaking out—some even lost money on canceled bookings. The hotel’s new owner, Sonder, is having major financial trouble and shut down most of its locations. Now, the site’s being rebranded as “The Eden” and might reopen this summer. Wild to see such a historic spot go dark! #SantaMonica #HotelClosure #TravelNews #Travel
