Frommer's Review

This eight-story Art Deco beauty offers luxury comforts, loads of historic 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. Today the elegant classic-revival architecture is beautifully accented with a well-chosen palette of bold pastels (a la Miami Beach's hotels of the same era). A wonderful veranda with handsome teak furnishings and unobstructed ocean views opens onto a light and airy lobby with comfortable seating nooks. A slow but silent antique elevator leads to guest rooms that are an ideal blend of nostalgic style and modern-day amenities such as complimentary Wi-Fi Internet access. Fittings include furnishings upholstered in gorgeous nubby textiles, mattresses dressed in goose-down comforters, and ceiling fans; suites have sleeper sofas and CD players as well. The hotel has an unobstructed coastal vista, so most rooms have at least a partial or full ocean view; the best views are above the third floor. The rooms 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.

Facilities:
Breakfast on the veranda; lobby bar with signature Georgini martini; exercise room; concierge service; activities desk; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; dry cleaning
