The Santa Monica Pier’s iconic Route 66 End of Trail sign has long marked the spiritual finish line for travelers driving the historic Mother Road. While Route 66 originally ended further inland, it ultimately extended to Santa Monica, where generations of road trippers completed their journey with one final destination in mind: the Pacific Ocean.

As the last hotel before the Route 66 End of Trail sign, The Pierside has been welcoming Route 66 travelers for decades, whether they’ve driven a single stretch or the entire length of the road. Located just steps from the Santa Monica Pier, our hotel is woven into the history and fabric of this legendary journey and the coastal community that surrounds it.
