Hotel Shutters On The Beach Santa Monica, Los Angeles
More photosExpert reviews
“If you ever wondered what an East Hampton mansion would look like if it were conveniently placed on the Santa Monica coastline, this would be it. Shutters is a secretive hideaway, tucked behind the busy streets of Santa Monica.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Los Angeles.
“Shutters on the Beach is right off the bike path in Santa Monica, between the Ferris wheel on the pier and the weightlifters at Venice’s muscle beach.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Los Angeles.
“Favored by celebs wanting a quiet escape, Santa Monica’s glamorous beachfront resort transports you to that cozy beach house of your dreams, with comfy throws and breezy interiors.”
“The interiors designed by Michael Smith, known for his work in the Obama White House, produced large, airy rooms in blues and whites that call to mind an oceanside mansion in the Hamptons.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Los Angeles.
“Hobnob with the occasional celebrity at this seaside American beach house in Santa Monica. Breezy, beach-chic rooms and suites, two highly regarded restaurants and a convivial cocktail lounge are all just steps from the sand. The hotel’s concierge service and amenities are all top notch.”

The most beautiful hotel I have ever stayed in - wonderful experience from start to finish.
Amazing location right on the ocean. Staff were so friendly & helpful. As it was my 60th birthday celebration they gave us a complimentary upgrade to a Pacific View Suite, which was stunning. They also sent a birthday cake and chilled bubbly to the suite as a birthday treat. The meals were all delicious and the level of service exceptional. This hotel thinks of every detail to make the guests feel welcome & appreciated.

Lovely stay in a very comfortable room. Exceeded expectations.
The ambiance of the hotel. The friendliness of the staff and the location. Loved the swimming pool area.
The passage way and stairs from level 5 to level three could be better. A few cobwebs around and could do with a bit of paint to smarten it up.

Great place, excellent location and a staff beyond compare!
Beach Front with a rustic atmosphere-escape the day-to-day hustle & bustle. Staff very attentive & helpful. Valet parking was great! Room was perfect with ocean view; easy walk to shops & restaurants. Check-in was a breeze...Oh yaeh, the margaritas were the best!!!
Room service menu selections. Having to use my phone to see any kind of menu was a pain (especially with the pop-ups)., but even then the selections were very limited. Thermostat did not work until the morning we checked out.

The friendly service from all staff from the moment we arrived. The tidy and clean rooms with exceptional amenities of modern holiday accommodation. We enjoyed it much more being our choice of accommodation for our honeymoon. It didn't disappoint. We will be back with Shutters being our #1 pick of accommodation in LA/Santa Monica.

Lovely high end hotel in Santa Monica
Prime location, superb staff and customer service. Upmarket hotel with great vibe - good place to unwind at the end of a California road trip.
Coast restaurant busy so long wait times for table but all staff encounters excellent. Somewhat overpriced compared to other 5* international hotels but this is California!

If you love the ocean, beautiful accommodations, and outstanding service, Shutters is for you!
The hotel itself is beautiful and the location couldn't be better -- you truly are right at the beach! I had an ocean view room with a balcony and each morning I woke up to the awe-inspiring view of the Pacific Ocean. Cracking open the sliding doors even an inch and I was greeted with the mesmerizing sound of the waves. And as fabulous as the setting is, the staff is equally magnificent! Each person I interacted with went above and beyond to make sure my stay was the best it could be, and it was that and so much more. They made me feel like a VIP! And if I hadn't experienced all of the above, I would go back just for their ice cream sundae and their pineapple coconut smoothie!
