Shutters on the Beach — Santa Monica's iconic beachfront hotel

Shutters on the Beach

There's no hotel in Santa Monica quite like Shutters. Designed to evoke a weathered Hamptons estate, this shingled oceanfront inn has defined luxurious California coastal living since 1993. Every room faces the Pacific.

Inside, original artwork lines the corridors, fireplaces crackle in the suites, and the shuttered windows of One Pico restaurant frame one of the great dining views in California. The pool deck, perched above the sand, is simply sublime.

Book a Balcony King and you'll fall asleep to the sound of the waves. Wake to a private sunrise over the Pacific. No hotel earns its reputation more honestly.
