“White sand beaches, the sun reflecting off the Pacific Ocean, and a gentle ocean breeze… Shutters on the Beach is your seaside haven set in one of Southern California’s most desirable enclaves. Both comfortable and luxurious, the acclaimed Santa Monica Beach hotel recalls the quintessential cottages of Cape Cod, with shuttered doors opening onto breezy balconies and a sun-drenched pool deck replete with chaise lounges. 186 gracious guestrooms and 12 suites showcase the residential-style designs of Michael S. Smith. On site, you will find market-fresh fare at 1 Pico Restaurant and Coast Beach Café. Indulge in organic wellness rituals at ONE Spa, and breathtaking panoramas of the Pacific from every vantage.Best of all, the beach is just steps from you at any given time. So sit back, unwind, and indulge in laidback coastal luxury at its finest.”
