SANTA MONICA – HOME OF THE CALIFORNIA BEACH LIFESTYLE!
For many the single greatest reason to visit Santa Monica is to enjoy the ultimate Southern California beach.
Shutters on the Beach
Santa Monica has 3.5 miles (5.6 km) of well-maintained California beach locations and enjoys, on average, 340 days of sunshine a year plus a nearly constant gentle ocean breeze. Cycling, movie shoots, beach volleyball games, and the finest of people-watching all happen here, and it’s no wonder. People love to gather at this California beach, partially because it is so pristine.
Conveniently located on Los Angeles’ western edge, Santa Monica is the perfect gateway to the many attractions of Southern California. Whether here for a day or a week, there’s always a great variety of things to do on your California vacation, from award-winning dining and top-rated shopping and accommodations to Santa Monica beach and the attraction-packed pier.
Shutters on the Beach, classically grand in scale yet intimate in mood:
Shutters on the Beach, an elite oceanfront hotel in Santa Monica, offers the ultimate California experience. The hotel evokes a sense of comfortable elegance that one would find in a grand, yet unpretentious, beach home, while affording panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and California coastline. Classically grand in scale yet intimate in mood, it harmonises contemporary elegance with a pervasive sense of tradition harking back to its origins in the era of America’s great beach hotels of the 1930s.
Come home to beachfront living at its finest. Generously spacious rooms with stylish personal details throughout will seduce you into serenity. The newly renovated interiors by renowned designer Michael Smith (recently appointed President Obama’s White House designer) honour the understated elegance of this beachfront property while enriching their deliberately residential charm. Each guestroom and suite, just like a private beach cottage, boasts all the comforts of home. Add to this the amenities of modern technology and the unparalleled excellence of the staff and the new Shutters is simply more of what you already know and love in an ultra luxury boutique hotel.
