Shutters on the Beach is a luxury beachfront hotel at 1 Pico Blvd in Santa Monica, with direct access to the sand and Pacific views. Its Cape Cod-inspired design pairs shuttered windows, blue-and-white interiors and wood details with contemporary art in the public spaces. Guests can unwind at the outdoor pool, book a treatment at ONE Spa or dine at 1 Pico and Coast. The hotel is close to the Santa Monica Pier, and its beachside setting makes it a choice for a stay built around the coast.
A beachfront stay in Santa Monica
At 1 Pico Boulevard, Shutters on the Beach sits directly on Santa Monica State Beach. The sand is just outside, and the Santa Monica Pier is about a five-minute walk away. Its position on the coast is a major draw if you want to build your stay around the ocean rather than travel to the beach each day.
The hotel’s exterior and interiors take cues from Cape Cod cottages. Shuttered doors, blue-and-white rooms, wood panelling and hand-woven rugs give the property a residential feel. Some rooms have balconies, and ocean views are a feature of the beachfront setting. Room details vary, so check the room description when choosing where to stay.
Art, the pool and ONE Spa
Contemporary art appears throughout the public spaces, including works by David Hockney and Roy Lichtenstein. The lobby has polished wooden floors, comfortable seating and a fireplace. A lounge area looks out towards the ocean, with shuttered patio doors framing the view.
Outside, the pool deck has chaise lounges and private cabanas facing the beach. ONE Spa offers massages, body treatments and manicures and pedicures, with a relaxation room and steam rooms. Treatments use products from brands including Kerstin Florian, Hydropeptide and Luzern. Private yoga classes and surfing lessons are also held on the beach. Book spa appointments or yoga ahead if you have a preferred time.
Dining with Pacific views
The hotel has two restaurants, 1 Pico and Coast. 1 Pico serves seasonal Southern California cooking, with dishes that include seafood and market-fresh produce. Its menu has also included smoked salmon and caviar benedict, grilled branzino and albacore crudo. Coast is another option for a meal by the water. The Living Room lounge is suited to a drink with ocean views.
For a more casual start to the day, French toast is one dish to look for at the hotel restaurant. A beach-view table can add to the meal, so make a reservation if sitting by the window matters to you.
