Beautiful hotel right on the beach. Comfortable yet elegant Nantucket feel to the lobby, restaurants and rooms. Have a pre-dinner cocktail and enjoy the live jazz Weds-Sat around 6pm in the lobby.

Luke WangFebruary 25, 2018It’s all about the attention to details in this New England inspired beach house hotel. The rooms are well decorated that make it feel like home instead of a hotel.
- Luke WangFebruary 25, 2018It’s all about the attention to details at this New England style beach house. The rooms are well decorated that you feel more at home than you are at a hotel. go to the cozy living room for a drink.
Zara KhanNovember 1, 2018Fantastic views of the sunset. Also an interesting spot for people watching and a really cute, clean restaurant on the beach.
Adrian PhillipsAugust 16, 2014If you're looking to have a drink by the beach in Santa Monica this place definitely works. If the lobby is packed just head downstairs to the Coastal Cafe and grab a seat at the bar
LitedreamerFebruary 26, 2015It's both upscale and beach casual. Lots of tourists. They have a Diner type of restaurant in he bottom level. Pricey but fresh ingredients and generous portions. Good brunch options.
National Geographic Traveller (UK)December 3, 2014Santa Monica's most luxurious beachfront hotel has a New England beach house vibe, with blue awnings, picket fences and floral trellises. Inside, there are comfy sofas and cashmere floors. Read more
Shn JuayJune 16, 2018Scenic view and lies on the quieter side of the beach, more privacy~ Also a huge public carpark right next to Shutters!
JW NajarianAugust 24, 2011Great Bar, food and great place to people watch as people strut the Santa Monica Boardwalk.This is a favorite of mine for business lunches. I have not tried 1 Pico dinner restaurant upstairs.
Max KesslerAugust 21, 2014I went splitskies with Jo Nathan on a burger and the chicken club. Don't be scurred by the small dogs and fake lips. No need to go hamalamadingdong on some fancy shit, stick to the basics here.
Christiane LemieuxOctober 28, 2011This is the best hotel for a family trip in LA. Try the pier, the outdoor beach playground and the aquarium. All a walking distance from the back door!
Louise BullJanuary 30, 2014Breakfast doesn't open until 7. If you're a jet lagged Brit, great opp to take in the sunrise before the joggers start pounding the boardwalk
- The lobby (with sofas to melt into & saucy live jazz piano music after dark) still remains one of the best places for a romantical rendezvous in this town. Toast with a Kir Royal~they do it gorgeous!
- JW NajarianMarch 5, 2010Right next door to Casa Del Mar; this is where I like to have lunch or dinner with friends or great for business meetings or just watch the beach skaters go by. The rooms are awesome also... Still h

Simon & Schuster ManagerAugust 25, 2011The farmer's market-inspired menu is perfect for watching a sunset on the beach. Katie Lee, author of GROUNDSWELL, enjoyed many meals here while writing the book.http://bit.ly/k56VHC
ToryBurchMay 2, 2011The ultimate spot for a beachy-escape, this ocean front hotel manages to feel luxe and casual at the same time. Incredibly kid-friendly as well.
Kathryn StuartFebruary 17, 2010When Trevor lived in Santa Monica, this was our place. A great, calm setting with soft, live music right on the beach. Relax in the comfy seating and sip on some great wine!
dina kaplanSeptember 18, 2011Get the eggs with eggplant and tomato for brunch, and ask for extra toast. Heavenly!
Take suites because most of their rooms have view on the parking and not on the beach.
Tosca RenoMarch 2, 2011Love Shutters, our family go-to when we visit L.A. Go for tea in the lobby, it's amazing. Then a walk on to the ocean and feel the sun!
- PurplelabnycJuly 27, 2010One of the best views of the beach in LA. Eat at One Pico and ask for a table by a window and listen to ocean as you dine. You may even rub shoulders with the stars!
- The Leading Hotels of the WorldFebruary 7, 2011The boutique hotel, located steps away from the Santa Monica Pier, offers surfing lessons, bike rentals and yoga on the beach to guests! Read more

Ruth LopezJuly 19, 2012Don't be afraid to try mixing the side orders and form a meal from them. Also their Red Velvet cake is exquisite.
BollareSeptember 30, 2011There is nothing better than the lemon ricotta blueberry pancakes on a Sunday morning. It’s also where I got married!!! —Alle
