- Stayed at Shutters for 6 nights, in a room overlooking Pico Blvd. - The room was superb in every way, genuinely "home away from home", with bookshelves loaded with fun "coffee table" books. - Gorgeous bathroom, with a window opening onto the bedroom, allowing daylight from the bedroom into the bathroom. - Generally our stay was good, but I'd... more

We chose Shutters as our first stopover on a fly-drive holiday at the beginning of June, mainly because guidebooks advertised it as one of few Santa Monica hotels actually located on the beach (i.e. rather than a few streets/blocks away). As first time visitors to LA, we were slightly daunted by the prospect of having to cross a freeway to... more

This place is a joke. First of all, there is massive construction going on which has closed the pool and left dust everywhere. There is hammering and drilling at all hours of the day on every floor. Call and ask and they are duplicitous about the extent of renovations. When I tried to check out, they tried to double-bill me... more

We first stayed here for for our 1st Wedding anniversary and if I'd have written my review then, I'd have given Shutters 10/10... 3 years on and I wanted to check out after the first night. We were warned when we booked that the pool and restaurant were out of action due to some work... that should have sent alarm... more

What a special place! The staff was friendly and helpful from the moment we stepped out of the car. Loved having a relaxing glass of wine at the bar as the sun set and then savoring the afterglow from the balcony of our room. Fabulous view of the beach and ocean-great location. What a treat! more

The proximity to the beach makes up for any minor quip about this wonderful hotel. They make it a point to make the place feel warm and luxurious with out it being pretentious. That's probably how they kept the enduring popularity all these years. Celebrity sight seeings are rare but most of us who keep coming back here find that... more

Shutters is a classic in the L.A. area, and it continues to live up to its reputation. As others have said, it has been going through serious renovations. We stayed there April 16-17, '08, and 1 Pico, the restaurant, was just re-opening. THe pool was not re-opened yet. So clearly those are disruptive things. The most important thing to know... more

Staying at Shutters is a great way to "escape" the hectic world of reality. We stayed for 5 nights in a Presidential Suite and it was fantastic. I have to say that everyone was great to us and the room was obviously wonderful (except for the tub that shot water through the bathroom whenever you turned on the jets of... more

The hotel is up to it's neck in refurbishment. We saw the huge dust sheets covering one side of the hotel as we arrived. We checked in, asking if we would be disturbed by work. Only a little noise for about an hour a day, we were told. Then we were shown to our room, top price, full ocean view,... more

We stayed here in February and spent 2 nights doing LA and environs as genuine tourists. The building is right on the beach at Santa Monica and is pretty much handy for everywhere. You arrive, they unload and take your vehicle away for you. The Reception staff and Concierge are very welcoming eager to please. The rooms are cosy (smallish)... more
