Georgian Hotel Review

This eight-story Art Deco beauty offers luxury comforts, loads of historical charm, and a terrific oceanview location (just across the street from Santa Monica's beach and pier), with prime Ocean Avenue dining just steps away. Established in 1933, the Georgian was popular among Hollywood's Golden Age elite; it even had its own speak-easy, rumored to have been established by Bugsy Siegel. A wonderful veranda with handsome teak furnishings and unobstructed ocean views opens onto a light and airy lobby. Two swift elevators, one very antique, lead to guest rooms that are an ideal blend of nostalgic style and modern-day amenities; you'll find free Wi-Fi and flatscreen TVs. Most rooms have at least a partial or full ocean view, but the best views are above the third floor. Units facing the ocean can be a bit small and noisy, so ask for a Malibu view for the best of both worlds. The back-facing rooms are best for light sleepers -- be sure to request one that has a city view, otherwise you'll be looking at the parking lot.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
