In continuous operation since 1927, Palihouse Santa Monica (formerly The Embassy Hotel Apartments) is an outstanding example of Moorish-influenced Mediterranean Revival Architecture. The hotel dates back to a time when Santa Monica was the last Los Angeles rail stop and travelers from all over the world came for seaside vacations all year round.

In 2001, the property was designated a Santa Monica Historic Landmark and in this spirit, we’ve retailored this one-of-a-kind urban lodge to conjure up the ideal pied-a-terre you’ve always imagined. Palihouse Santa Monica takes to heart that few things in life are as transformative as the people and places you encounter when you travel.

For the last few years of his life, Houdini utilized the estate's pool to rehearse his incredible feats of escape and deception. He died in the pool in 1926. The property where Houdini's wife, Bess, hosted a memorable party for 500 magicians and lived for ten years after her husband's death still carries the enchantment and mystery of "The Handcuff King." The estate and its gardens have been rebuilt, and visitors may now take use of modern conveniences while still experiencing the grandeur and wonder of Harry Handcuffs Houdini.
