One of my favorite hotels . . . period. You can't beat the location, hotel amenities, rooms, food, . . . the list goes on. I will definitely return. The only negative is cost, but you should know that before you book this hotel. More

I was at Shutters for business in March and wow, I can't wait to return. My entire stay from working with the concierge Curtis prior to my stay to the front desk, housekeeping, wait staff, spa staff - just everything was absolutely perfect! Location The location of the property is ideal. Its a short 15-20 minute commute from LAX -... More

Shutters has definitely become my "go to" hotel for business travel in the LA area. The obvious reason is the amazing beachfront location that is also convenient to LA and West LA. The real reason is that the staff are excellent - personable, efficient, and positive all the time. Shutters is my LA "home away from home", more than just... More

I stayed at this hotel twice in November 2011, and have been meaning to write a review for a while. What an amazing hotel. The decor is gorgeous - the rooms are decked out Hamptons-style with a few vintage touches. The foyer and sitting area is lovely with open fireplaces and big lounges to sit and have a drink. The...

The location is just fabulous, overlooking the ocean. The rooms were very comfortable, and were very tastefully done up with coffee table books, etc. The staff was extremely courteous and the view was just to kill for. Quite an enjoyable place to enjoy the Santa Monica pier and also the Santa Monica beach. More

Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful, the location -- right on the beach, removed from the hubbub of LA and within walking distance of many shops and restaurants-- was ideal for relaxing and exercising, the rooms are beautifully maintained and very comfortable, the Spa and...

We recently celebrated my Mom's 90th birthday in one of their party rooms which was a few steps from the beach. The weather was perfect, the food was good and the service was above average as to be expected in these kinds of places. The lunch buffet was already prearranged by me weeks before and almost everyone enjoyed it. The... More

I stayed at Shutters three years ago and just returned from another fantastic two nights there. On this trip, I toured pretty much the entire pacific coast. By the time I got to Santa Monica, it was nice to see some familiar east coast cape charm colliding with everything I love about the west coast. The Shutters staff is overall... More

If you are staying in Santa Monica, this is probably the best hotel. It is right on the beach, has a small pool, a great lobby with a jazz trio playing every evening at 6, and great rooms with very high four-post beds. The room I received had a great Ocean View. I also commend some of the staff, including... More
