Opened in 1993 and one of The Leading Hotels of the World, Santa Monica's Shutters on the Beach still exudes newness, with its sparkling white balconies and immaculate slate-gray shingled exterior. The decor suggests a private beach club: oceanic sea-foam-blue-and-cream striped wallpaper along the c...

L.A. is one of the world's few spots where one can combine a big-city business trip with vacation at a seaside resort. Shutters mixes Cape Cod and Craftsman architecture that (so they say) is an homage to the prevailing Southern California coastal style of the '20s and '30s - something that's imposs...

This Cape Cod-style luxury hotel enjoys one of the city's most prized locations: directly on the beach, a block from Santa Monica Pier. Only relative newcomer Casa del Mar (above) can compete, but Shutters bests the Casa by attaching alfresco balconies to every guest room and having a more personal ...

Some call Shutters on the Beach the most comfortable hotel in the world — and they may be right. It's just the perfect mix of that Deco glamour, old world coziness and modern LA laissez faire, but it also has a lot of what the modern traveler wants — quiet.Though we all like to be near t...

Perfect Wedding Night Romance - user review
The incredible staff worked with my husband to create an unforgettable wedding night retreat. Rose petals were strewn everywhere, bouquets perfumed the room and the staff was at our beck and call. The room was what every bride dreams of romantic, elegant and peaceful. The Jacuzzi tub, jetted shower,...

Pricey but imperfect - user review
We celebrated a birthday there and the cake and flowers were excellent, food is great. However, the check in and front desk personnel is rude (Dora), arrogant and incompetent. I complained to the GM about employees hanging up when one makes reservations at the Pico restaurant, and front desk personn...

It was everything we expected. Fabulous location on the beach. We paid up for a sea view room but there were lots of rooms with no view and I would be disappointed if we had one of those. Main restaurant was closed for refurbish. Very disappointing. Main lobby quite small but cozy. Great pool and sp...

Shutters on the Beach: A real view of a virtual beach - user review
For about $500 a night you can get a room with a view... Yes, you can actually gaze out at a sun soaked beach, 24 hours a day, just by opening the shutters over the French doors leading to your own private beach patio right outside your hotel room. That's right, all day, all night, rain or shine, yo...

Don't let him believe that he's hard at work. There's a constant party going on at his house, and the boom boom boom from the PA and his bom...

Shutters on the Beach - Santa Monica, CA, 90405 - Citysearch
I was given a $900 giftcard to Shutters&used it to spend the weekend there with my 8 yr old daughter on 6/29. I should have sold the giftcard&stayed somewhere else. I think Shutters gets high ratings because of the lack of options at the beach, not because of its excellent standards of servi...
