LA was the final leg of our trip having stayed at several cities in America and Canada and I am pleased to say we saved the best till last. What a wonderful surprise on check -in to have been upgraded to a sea view suite on the top floor. The decor and view were fantastic. We found all the staff to be extremely friendly and genuinely interested in enusring you have a great time. There is a lovely veranda at the front of the hotel where you can enjoy drinks and meals. The french toast souffle with fresh fruit at breakfast was delicious! The location is great, only 2 block from the main shopping street and is surrounded by lovely restaurants. What a refreshing change from the service you receive at some chain hotels. We would definitely stay here again.

This is going to be a very simple review. After staying a couple of nights at the very expensive and very anonymous Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas, it was a delight to arrive at The Georgian.

It was all we imagined: traditional, tasteful, quiet, slightly jaded around the edges and all in all, a delightful experience.

The porters were fab: very efficient, very fast, very friendly and very keen to help. The receptionists, I'll be honest, were less friendly initially but after a couple of days soon warmed up.

Our city view room was large, spacious, bags of rooms and very very quiet. The city view was actually a view of a brick wall - not particularly attractive to put it mildly. However, it didn't really matter because the room was quiet and although the rooms on the front overlooking the sea obviously have great views, something tells me that they could be very noisy!

Sitting on the verandah at the front of the hotel was lovely - we were fortunate enough to arrive on the manager's welcome night (Wednesday) so caught the tail end of free glasses of rose wine and canapes. It was very pleasant sitting watching the world go by.

The hotel is in a very good position - OK, so it's raised up above the beach and isn't right on it like other hotels but it is on a delightful road (albeit a bit busy) and is very near the shops (just around the corner). Parking is round the back of the hotel and the concierge/porters do this for you - it's a bit expensive but hell, you're in LA. We actually hired cycles and after 8 hours cycling were glad to return to our glass of wine - wonderful way to see LA though.

The hotel too is pretty expensive but compared to the others we saw, I think, worth it.

Have a good stay!

We absolutely loved The Georgian. The staff was great, we arrived early and they let us check in early. The valet is great and very helpful with directions! Just a great place, the other reviews sum it up, the only downside is that the elevator is a little slow, but the place is old and that is just part of it's charm. Great location, we got a room with a remodeled bathroom and it was gorgeous!

We loved the Georgian!!!!. We are a family that appreciates the preservation of history and
the Georgian has done it. They are on the last leg of their restoration replacing carpets.
What a great boutique hotel. They staff couldn't have been friendlier and more accomodating. I don't think we waited more than 3 minutes for them to bring our car around. The valet staff is excellent. The breakfast and lunch are quite good also. We enjoyed sitting on the veranda having drinks and just soaking up the atmosphere. It is a great location. Within walking distance to the Promenade and Santa Monica Pier. also close to Santa Monica Freeway and Pacific Coast Highway. While your there do drive up to Mailbu. Watch the surfers along the way and go through the Pepperdine Campus if you can the views are magnificent. Stop at the Malibu Inn Roadhouse for a bite to eat. You will be pleasantly surprised. Also Go to the Getty Museum another wonderful bit of culture with breathtaking views. Rent Bikes and ride down to Venice beach. Thanks to the Georgian for making our stay very pleasant.
