What People Are Saying About Georgian Hotel

The Scene
Sitting on one of the city's most coveted, palm-lined plots, the Georgian is a short walk to the restaurants and shops of the Third Street Promenade and the historic Santa Monica Pier. Back in its heyday, a patient onlooker could spot Clark Gable savoring a martini or Carole Lombard listening to the strains of jazz on the ocean-facing veranda. During Prohibition, the hotel/speakeasy was a hot spot for both the famous and infamous--Fatty Arbuckle and mobster Bugsy Siegel were familiar faces.

The Details
The turquoise-and-gold building with art deco charm houses 84 rooms and 28 suites. Rooms come with freshly ground Starbucks coffee, complimentary shoeshine and goose down feather comforters in the suites. Hungry? Stop by the hotel's Speakeasy Restaurant. Warm earth tones and polished wood offer provide Zen-like relaxation in an elegant home-away-from-home setting.

We did not stay at the hotel but did have brunch at their restaurant, called the Veranda. While it was very relaxing and comfortable sitting outdoors on said veranda, the meal was only about average. Menu is fairly classic traditional American, nothing particularly creative. I had an egg dish and have had better ones at 3 Square Cafe. Gets 3 stars only because it was nice sitting outside.

Don't expect any frills with the Georgian Hotel. The standard rooms are small and the hallways are narrow. Due to its older architecture, the valets are unable to wheel luggage carts all the way down to the curbside. If you want ice cubes in your room, you need to call the front desk. Parking is expensive -- use the cheap city lot around the corner on 2nd Street. One nice feature, however, is that the entire hotel, including the outdoor verdanda, is 100% NON-SMOKING thanks to a recent Santa Monica city ordinance. You're within a two short blocks of the (obnoxiously noisy and crowded) Third Street Promenade and the S.M. Pier, and you're right across the street from the ocean. The hotel also offers express check-out via your television's remote control. Overall, The Georgian Hotel is a reasonably-priced and clean hotel with an ocean view, and offers a cheap alternative for pricier hotels like the Loews and Shutters On The Beach.

The Georgian offers a little of everything. A classical hotel with ocean views. The best place to have a morning breakfast and greet the day. All my employees loved staying here.
