THE ABC’S OF MAKING SANTA MONICA A CORPORATE DESTINATION Join the hub of international and national clients who choose Santa Monica as a corporate destination. Planning a corporate event in Santa Monica is as simple as ABC … and D. Accessiblity & Accommodations—Santa Monica is a mere eight miles from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and only 13 miles from downtown Los Angeles. In Santa Monica, you’ll find a wide-range of beautifully-appointed accommodations—from fine hotels and luxury properties to long-stay corporate alternatives and budget properties. Business Tech Savvy—Your conference guests will be pleased with Santa Monica’s state-of-the-art accommodations which provide technological access including in-room and on-site wireless Internet connection, data ports, multiple-line phones, fax/modem setups, teleconferencing facilities, flat screen televisions, and other business amenities and services. Santa Monica Pier and Third Street Promenade are just a sampling of Santa Monica’s public spaces currently offering wireless Internet access. Convenience—Located within a compact 8.3 square miles, this pedestrian-friendly city is easily accessible. Traveling by foot is safe and easy. Group biking is available in some areas of the city or along the paved beachfront South Bay Bicycle Trail. For those corporate adventurers willing to try something new, there’s the Segway® Human Transporter, the compact, selfbalancing two-wheel personal transporter, or a good pair of in-line skates. Santa Monica is so eco-friendly that it allows and encourages the use of skates and scooters throughout the city. Speaking of Eco-Friendly—don’t forget the environmentally-sound, low emission, natural gas buses of Santa Monica’s Big Blue Bus system. Repeatedly voted the best bus line in the nation, the Big Blue Bus system is ideal for corporate attendees. Fare cards may be purchased from several locations throughout the city including the Santa Monica Walk-In Visitor Information Center. Another option, the Tide Shuttle loops along Ocean Avenue, Main Street, and the Downtown/Third Street Promenade area for only 25 cents a ride. Free Tide Shuttle route maps are also available at the Santa Monica Walk-In Visitor Information Center. Dining—Diverse, world-class cuisine makes Santa Monica a gourmet destination. Reputed internationally for its culinary scene, the cuisine is prepared with the highest quality of local, seasonal ingredients—a creative culinary movement known as “California cuisine.” Four weekly farmers’ markets offer the freshest locally-grown foods, and chefs may be found mingling among locals and visitors.
