My husband and I stayed at Shutters for the last few nights of our honeymoon in beautiful Santa Monica. We anticipated nothing but perfect luxury. However, we stayed the week prior in an equally beautiful, boutique hotel with exceptional service, location and amenities,and so our experience at Shutters became a sore disappointment. We felt the ...

I loved it all, one of the bets places ive ever stay in. Id; recommend this hotel to all my friends and to all the companys i deal with.

If you're looking for a place with a beach view for your wedding or reception, don't go to Shutters! It may be on the beach, but when I went by appointment to view their facilities for a wedding reception, I was shown a banquet area on the ground floor, right at the beach, but the windows were "faux." When I asked about a view, I was told the windows do not open and there is NO BEACH VIEW from the reception area.

My friends and I stayed here the week before we all went off to our seperate colledges...it was an amazing week and the hotel was extremely acomidating!

Way overpriced. Rooms were nice enough, in fact very nice. But, to have to pay for a beach chair when spending over $400/ night? Give me a break.
Also, the Pedals cafe? Had breakfast there. 4 people, pancakes and coffee, $88. $16 for 3 panckes, really pretty outrageous.
Nice location, nice room, probably would opt for somewhere else next time.

right on the beach, this place has amazing views with very nice rooms. the gym is mediocre...but this is a place to relax. good get away locale

This is a beautiful hotel in a great location. The rooms are super comfortable and feel more like a nice vacation home than a hotel.

Outstanding experience, service and treatment

I stayed at Shutters on the Beach for a wedding that was held there in 2000. While it is a nice hotel, I would recommend staying at their "sister" hotel Casa Del Mar, which is also right on the beach and much more luxurious, dramatic, and tastefully-designed in my opinion.

I'm don't really like it's faux Cape Cod ...
