Eden in Santa Monica inducted into Historic Hotels of America

The Eden in Santa Monica, California, has been inducted into Historic Hotels of America, the official programme of the National Trust for Historic Preservation for recognising, celebrating, and promoting the finest historic hotels in the United States.

The Eden is one of more than 300 hotels and resorts throughout the country that is recognised by Historic Hotels of America for preserving and maintaining its historic integrity, architecture, and ambiance.

"Historic Hotels of America is delighted to induct The Eden, a Streamline Moderne hotel built in 1939," said Lawrence Horwitz, Executive Vice President of Historic Hotels of America and Historic Hotels Worldwide. "We commend The Eden, Tehmina Adaya, and leadership team for their careful historic preservation work, stewardship and vision that will allow future generations of travelers to experience this unique historic destination."

To be selected for membership in Historic Hotels of America, a hotel must be at least 50 years old; has been designated by the US Secretary of the Interior as a National Historic Landmark or listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places; and recognised as having historic significance. Danielle Delcambre, General Manager of The Eden, said: "Becoming a member of Historic Hotels of America is a meaningful milestone for The Eden. Our 1939 origins and timeless Streamline Moderne design are a defining part of Santa Monica's story, and this recognition celebrates our ongoing commitment to preserving that legacy for generations to come."

The Eden is rich in history and architectural integrity. The Eden is a privately owned, independently operated boutique hotel located in Santa Monica, California. Originally opened in 1939 and continuously held by the same family since 1983, the property is a registered historic landmark and one of the West Coast's most distinguished examples of Streamline Moderne architecture. Relaunched in 2025 under a brand new management team and new executive leadership, The Eden offers 70 rooms and suites, wellness-forward programming, and partnerships with leading local brands. The hotel is committed to delivering a refined, place-based experience at the intersection of legacy preservation and next-generation hospitality. - TradeArabia News Service
