What People Are Saying About Shutters on the Beach

Featured Review

The Scene – The idea was to replicate the comfort and understated elegance of a 1920s oceanfront resort, without the pretentiousness (hence the lobby's giant, earthy fireplaces and plush slipcover couches). Since opening in 1993, Shutters has proven to be the hotel backbone of what some call the revitalization of Santa Monica. Dozens of first-rate shopping and dining destinations are within walking distance on Main Street and Montana Avenue. – – The Details – From the shuttered doors to the yellow-striped awnings, the mood here is historic beach-side California.…

Editor's Tips

The Extras:
Traditional wedding formality not your style? Say your ''I do's'' here with the sand between your toes. Or go with a laid-back reception in the Grand Salon Ballroom, featuring a floor-to-ceiling mural of period scenes from 1920s Santa Monica.
Know Before You Go:
Event planners can arrange for almost any extravagancy such as having a small plane fly overhead with a banner announcing your nuptials, or colorful sailboats floating picturesquely in the backdrop.

Best I've had in a long time!

by dtsunoda1

Went for dinner with a friend and had a great meal. Everything from the appetizer to the main course was excellent. The manager, Ryan Reith was great also. There are windows surrounding the dining room and you can see the Santa Monica Pier with all the pretty lights from every angle. I would highly recommend.

One of the Premiere Wedding Spots!

Shutters is a great spot for a wedding. I've been a wedding photographer for many years and just love the way shutters looks in print, my couples love it and it makes a great setting for a beautiful wedding. I highly recommend shutters and suggest you visit their locations before making a choice.
