Shutters on the Beach
Santa Monica beachfront, Pico Boulevard; Santa Monica, United States
Shutters on the Beach brings a residential coastal atmosphere directly to the Santa Monica sand. Rooms use a palette of blues and greens, hardwood floors and carefully chosen decorative details to create the feeling of a well-appointed beach house. The choice of outlook is especially important: oceanfront accommodation in the Beach House faces the Pacific and Santa Monica Pier, while other categories offer partial ocean or residential views. Selected rooms add outdoor or Juliet balconies. Dining continues the connection with the setting, from 1 Pico’s Californian and Southern Italian influences to Coast Beach Café & Bar and the Living Room. A pool, cabanas and spa support a more leisurely stay. Choose Shutters when the beach will be central to the visit and you want a hotel with a distinctly domestic character. Its strongest appeal is the ease of moving between accommodation, dining and the shore. An oceanfront room is worth prioritising if the view is the main reason for the trip. Plan inland Los Angeles outings separately, leaving enough time for Santa Monica’s waterfront and changing evening light.
