Shutters on the Beach | Santa Monica, Los Angeles | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Santa Monica, Los Angeles

5 stars

A member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, Shutters on the Beach is an award-winning establishment with a distinctly discerning clientele. Similar in style to a 1920s or 1930s beach resort, it is light, airy and luxurious with many works of art on show, including pictures by David Hockney and Robert Motherwell. Rooms and suites boast all the comforts of home and are very generous in size with great views of the ocean. Amenities include the gorgeous ONE Spa offering a wide range of signature treatments, including the Signature Facial with Augustinus Bader. There’s also a swimming pool to laze by and a well-equipped fitness centre with sauna and steam rooms. One Pico is the hotel’s fine dining restaurant, showcasing a seasonally changing menu of modern American cuisine. If a more laid-back atmosphere appeals, however, beach-side cafe Coast more than fits the bill and is open from morning until night. For afternoon tea and evening cocktails, look no further than the lobby lounge, a cosy, intimate space that is popular with locals and guests alike.

“Wonderful Stay”

Dec 31, 2025Sho715

Perfect location, right on the beach. Studio king had pull out couch for our two kids. Big room and bathroom. 5 minute walk to the pier and 15 minute walk to 3rd St Promenade. Hotel staff were professional, kind, and went out of their way to make our stay special. Huge shout out to Hakeem at check in, and Sergio (hotel car driver). If you travel 3 miles or less, hotel offers free rides and if you’re lucky, Sergio will be your driver who will serenade you (upon request) with opera! Hotel restaurants are great and free drink tickets were appreciated. Can’t wait to return!

“the view and location is just sensational”

Nov 06, 2025lorrainesfavourite

the location is sublime santa monica may be on its knees but shutters continues to shine like a gem and they have not rested in their laurels but they have invested improved and refreshed staff are great.......many are log term which is always a good sign food is great I have one gripe with the $55 resort charge which is shabby........i think it ought be on the room rate which would be more honest expression meantime whilst i disagree with their pricing policy we look forward to our next visit

“Luxurious old charm hotel”

Oct 11, 2025holidaychicLondon

This is our 2nd time staying here, the 1st was two years ago and usually we don’t like returning to properties… but needless to say we will be back again! We arrived at the hotel at around 5.45am from an early overnight flight from Kauai.. we were shattered so we were thrilled to arrive and get checked in swiftly by Liz on the desk who switched some things around and got us into a room.. the room was gorgeous, tastefully decorated and furnished like we remembered.. The lobby has been redecorated and is even more stunning than before. The pool area is immaculate with a bar, hot tub and lots of sun beds.. We had breakfast and lunch at Coast -both delicious.. We had a drink in the bar before and after we went out for a local dinner which was lovely listening to the chilled live music with great service. This is truly a first class hotel which on both occasions has exceeded our expectations.. I’m at a loss reading some of the negative reviews..
