Mediterranean elegance on the sand — a 1926 beach club reborn as Santa Monica's most storied luxury address.
Santa Monica · Hotels
From legendary beachfront icons to charming boutique stays — every hotel puts you moments from the best of California.
Editor's Choice · Featured Hotel
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.
