Luxury

L.A.’s beachfront community of Santa Monica is a haven for luxury in the city. Dotting the coastline is an endless supply of upscale eateries, shops and hotels. Among the best of the best is Shutters on the Beach, a beachfront hotel with a reputation for class and sophistication.

 

Popular among vacationers looking for an upscale, romantic getaway and locals looking for a luxurious break from the chaos of daily life, Shutters gives everyone who walks through its doors a glamorous interlude in an enchanted setting.

 

The hotel boasts 186 stylish hotel rooms and 12 lavish suites. While not every room in the hotel offers an ocean view, they are all expertly appointed and decorated in the light, breezy Cape Cod-style befitting an ocean retreat. For a truly decadent stay, book one of the ocean-view rooms so you can enjoy the cool breeze and let the mesmerizing sound of the waves crashing ashore lull you into a restful sleep.

The hotel pool has a great view of the ocean and, along with comfortable lounge chairs for sunbathing, guests can enjoy a private pool-side cabana for the day. One Spa, the on-site spa featuring products designed by Omorovicza (a company known for using special Budapest thermal waters to create luxurious skin care products), offers the ultimate in rejuvenating skin care treatments. Along with products by Biologique Reserche and more, these customized spa treatments combine with the healing powers of an ocean-side retreat to help you renew your body and spirit.

 

Surrounded by a city with a world-class dining scene, Shutters lives up to local standards with its in-house restaurants. Coast and 1 Pico, the hotel’s signature restaurants, offer delectable California-fresh cuisines and drinks to satisfy every craving. For a casual experience, head to the Living Room near the lobby for a relaxing drink or a cup of tea where you can kick back and enjoy a relaxing atmosphere while you watch the surf in the distance.

 

Separating the hotel from the crashing waves of the Pacific is the Ocean Front Walk, a paved walkway for pedestrians and cyclists. It is a favorite way for locals to take in the fresh ocean air and stretch their legs. The walkway is a great place for people-watching and, with just a short stroll, you can be on the nearby boardwalk at the Santa Monica Pier riding the Ferris wheel.

 

To explore what the local area has to offer, take advantage of the hotel’s Beyond the Beach Adventures. The hotel concierge will gladly assist in arranging one of several local activities for you. Whether it be an anti-gravity aerial yoga class, a session at trapeze school at the Santa Monica Pier or getting behind the wheel of a classic Porsche at 100 mph at the nearby Porsche Experience Center, the hotel has thoughtfully put together several adventure packages to makes sure your trip to Santa Monica is a memorable one.
