In what looks like an oversized beachfront mansion that belongs on quiet beaches of New England, Shutters on the Beach is a beautiful oceanfront property overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Santa Monica. Rooms look more like guest rooms in a gorgeous beach home with in-room libraries, whirlpool tubs, peekaboo windows, entertainment centers and balconies. Superior and Deluxe rooms are the smallest, with a king or two double beds. Rooms become more premium with ocean views. Suites begin with the Santa Monica suite providing a king bed and a full-size sofa bed and also increase in price due to view. Two-bedroom suite options are available in the Pacific View and Beach House suites with one king bed and one bedroom with two doubles, as well as a queen sofa bed in the living room, providing space for eight guests. Onsite dining is available at one of three restaurants. Coast is idea for casual, all-day dining, as it is open from breakfast through dinner. At 1 Pico, guests can find a seasonal menu for lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. during the week, brunch from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends, and nightly dinner from 6 to 10 p.m. The hotel’s Living Room is a comfy lounge with ocean views and light bites from lunch through late night, including weekend brunch and a dessert bar on Friday afternoons.
