Shutters on the Beach

Frommer's Review

This Cape Cod-style luxury hotel is directly on the beach, a block from Santa Monica Pier. Only the Shutters' sister property -- Casa del Mar can compete, but Shutters is slightly better because of balconies on every guest room and the more personal boutique hotel-like ambience. The views and sounds of the ocean are the most outstanding qualities of the spacious, luxuriously outfitted rooms, some of which have fireplaces and/or whirlpool tubs; all have floor-to-ceiling windows that open. The small swimming pool and the sunny lobby lounge overlooking the sand are two great perches for spotting the celebrities who swear by Shutters as an alternative hangout to smoggy Hollywood. One Pico, the hotel's premier restaurant, serves modern American cuisine in a seaside setting. The hotel's ONE spa offers guests facials, massages, body scrubs and body treatments, manicures, pedicures, and waxing. Tip: The beach-cottage rooms overlooking the sand are more desirable and no more expensive than those in the towers.
