An iconic beachfront hotel in trendy Santa Monica

Shutters on the Beach

Idyllically set before the golden sands of the Santa Monica beachfront with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Shutters on the Beach is one of Los Angeles’ most iconic hotels. Decorated by the interior designer who styled the Obama White House, the white-shingled property is littered with modern art and guests stay in spacious balconied rooms. Trendy restaurants, a luxurious spa and faultless service complete the picture at this fabulous beach retreat.

DINING 

The culinary offering here focuses on farm-to-fork oceanfront dining. Seafood fans should book a table for two or weekend brunch at romantic signature restaurant 1 Pico, where the Italian-influenced menu features local seasonal fare like Californian white bass and grilled octopus expertly paired with wines selected by the resident sommelier. The laidback Coast Beach Café and Bar offers all-day dining, with an open kitchen and outdoor patio; while the Living Room serves indulgent afternoon teas and cocktails.

ACTIVITIES

The hotel is within easy reach of Santa Monica’s lively pier and trendy restaurants, as well as the swanky shops on Beverly Hills’ Rodeo Drive. Relax in laidback luxury back at base, taking in ocean views from a private pool cabana before indulging in some pampering treatments at the fabulous spa run by celeb favourite Ole Henriksen. There’s a fitness centre and private yoga classes for indoor workouts, while the 24-hour concierge can arrange everything from surfing lessons to bicycle hire for outdoor adventurers.

ROOM TYPES

The hotel has 198 spacious rooms and suites, elegantly decorated in a beach-chic style with four-poster beds, white shutters, hardwood floors and hand-woven Tibetan rugs. Most have balconies – splurge on an oceanfront suite for views of the sun setting over the ocean – and all feature thoughtful extras like a library of hardback classics and a flatscreen TV with on-demand movies. Bathrooms are similarly stylish with large whirlpool tubs, rain showers, televisions and luxury toiletries.
