Want the perfect summer getaway? Travel to Los Angeles this summer! And for the best hotel experience, stay at Shutters on the Beach Hotel, which lies right on Santa Monica’s beautiful, sandy beaches and is just a short walk to the famous Santa Monica Pier. The rooms are made to resemble a cozy, beach house and has an intimate feel. The hotel was designed by renowned interior designer, Michael Smith, who designed the interiors of the Obama White House, created the homey, beachy feel with using a lot of whites and cool blues. This hotel is also a celebrity hotspot and caters to many celebrities on a regular basis, such as Brad Pitt and Megan Fox.
The rooms are large and beautifully designed, look and feel just like a personal beach home. Most of the rooms have a spectacular ocean view, with beautiful large shutter doors that open up to balconies. The room amenities are also great- some come with cozy fireplaces, gigantic TV’s (even in the bathrooms!), the suites come with iPads to play with, and every room comes with a Hemmingway novel to add to the experience!
The service is also impeccable. According to one reviewer, “bellmen rush to guests’ cars as valets drive them away, helping with bags. Two doormen wait by the entrance with towels and water bottles for patrons returning from jogs on the beach. The check-in clerk addressed me by name, gave her name, and told me to call if I needed anything. Later, when I passed the front desk, she remembered my name and asked how I was doing.”
Finally, the hotel offers two oceanfront award-winning restaurants that are also beautifully designed called One Pico and Coast. One Pico was even featured on the HBO hit show Entourage.
If you’re making a trip to the sunny west coast this summer, be sure to stay at Shutters on the Beach.
