    Room service breakfast with a view
    Todd H.

    I just completed a 4 day long weekend stay at Shutters On The Beach, and it was nothing short of a slice of Heaven. I stay there every summer for my annual beach getaway vacay to escape the hot Arizona summer, and it's always a joy. Everyone from valets, to the front desk staff, room attendants, and restaurant staff are friendly and professional. I especially enjoyed ordering room service breakfast from my room as I took in the incredible beach & ocean view. I always try and stay in the same room because it's right on the boardwalk and steps from the sand. If you're looking for the ultimate beach getaway experience, Shutter's is the place to stay. I can't wait to do it all over again in Summer 2027

    Lobster roll! Get this!

    I have not been back in many years, so since we were in LA celebrating a milestone, we knew we had to come back to Shutters. Lunch was in order and we went downstairs to the restaurant to order what we came here for...LOBSTA ROLL! A strawberry margarita was in order too. Since almost everyone in my party ordered the roll, I thought I would try the fish tacos. Ugh, big mistake. Maybe it was an off day but they tasted fishy and bland. Where's the coleslaw and creamy sauce? The chef should visit Santa Barbara and get some ideas to improve this dish because it was an expensive disappointment. But the Lobster Roll? Oh my goodness, go here, eat this and come back for more! The warm fluffy roll and the creamy tasty lobster salad stacked high on top was a winner! The birthday cake slice we shared was a fun treat too. Overall, it was probably one of the priciest lunches we've had so it set us back, good thing we were flying home and didn't need to get any dinner! Service was friendly and the entire staff at the hotel was super cheery too. A beautiful location right on the beach. What a great way to celebrate!

    We had an unbelievable time at this hotel. The concierge team is amazing especially beatrice. Front desk staff very friendly and accommodating. We got upgraded to a one bedroom suite. It was my daughter's 22nd birthday. Booked it last minute, but we still were able to get beautiful bouquet of flowers, cupcakes from a local cupcake shop, a bottle of champagne. Thank you team for making her stay so enjoyable. Only downside was the bar staff in the lobby was pretty slow. One of the bartenders didn't apply our drink tickets and I had to go back later to fix it. We had a small cabana. Lots of kids in the pool, but I guess it was the weekend. I can't wait to come back, everyone was so accommodating! Thank you team..

    Perfect location! So neat to be on the sand in Santa Monica and have a great ambiance in the restaurant. The food was good, servers were good, just wasn't a five star experience, but a solid 4

    I've waited to leave a review because I aspired to make it perfect, naming each and every employee who made a home for Palisadians after the fire. Alas, I fear my memory will fade before I have time to memorialize a perfect tribute. From Mikey and Willem to Mike, Andrew, Jason and Zach at the door, to Carol, Rosanna, Myles, Anthony, Beatrice at the front desk, Dorshab, Jimmy, Kevin, Liz G., Mary and Jesse in dining, Maria and Ana in housekeeping, Scott, Gabriel, Julie, Cyndi - quite sincerely every single Shutters employee who crossed my path during a 6 month residency made my life better for having known them. I am eternally grateful for the care and concern extended by this hotel to our community as it offered haven to Palisades refugees - along with our dogs, cats, birds, snakes, fish - piled into their beautiful lobby that had finished a renovation a couple weeks prior. The hotel group was generous, and the employees from every department were of the highest caliber. Whoever did the lion share of the hiring for the staff present between January-June 2025 deserves an award. In 6 months time, I did not directly or indirectly encounter a single issue with staff. Rooms were perfectly appointed with luxurious bathtubs and great views. Of the 5 rooms I stayed in, Room 734 was my all around favorite. If that's not in the budget, Room 308 is a runner up. For those looking for a weekend away, I recommend you ask for a room on the 7th, then 6th, then 5th, then 4th floor...you get my point. Rooms from -30-38 with direct ocean views are also the quietest as they're nestled in the center of the hotel. Noise can be an issue on the 3rd floor, at least when staying for months. probably won't bother anyone over a weekend. During a time of great chaos and unprecedented stress, managing the remediation of seniors with dementia, assisting 6 family members who lost homes, Shutters provided me a safe haven. For the rest of my life, I shall be grateful for the kindness of ownership, management, and boots on the ground. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind compassion. I'm including a sketch gifted by the magnificent Carol (@caroldraws___ on IG) of the Shutters house poms. My girls miss their hotel bestie, Cyndi, every day. It's too hard for me to go back as I know I'll want to stay. I miss them all very much.

    I've always loved Shutters. At a time when consistency is lacking at so many places, this has been one of the few places I've always been able to count on for great service, which is why this experience was so disappointing. My husband and I used to frequent Coast downstairs for brunch so often that one of the servers knew us by name. We went this past weekend and Coast was very busy, so we decided to go upstairs to the indoor bar just to have a drink and some food. We sat at a table inside for nearly 40 minutes while staff walked past us and ignored us completely. At that point, my husband went up to the bar to order, thinking maybe they didn't take table orders in that area. But they clearly did. A table of five sat down almost 30 minutes after we did, and within about 10 minutes, the bartender came over, chatted with them, explained the drinks, and took their order. Meanwhile, we were still sitting there, completely unattended. My husband walked up to the bar and order himself. His glass of wine came out fairly quickly. My Bloody Mary didn't arrive until over 30 minutes later, and the food came almost 30 minutes after that. By then, the whole experience felt awkward, frustrating, and honestly uncomfortable. I've always looked to Shutters as a place that gets it right when so many restaurants don't anymore. That's what made this visit especially disappointing.

    This is my absolute FAV hotel I have ever been to. The food, people, rooms, service is amazing! I got my room cleaned every day!! Totally recommend!

    Brunch at Shutters on the Beach is a relaxing, exquisite experience. The partial ocean view from the glass room is just right, and the sunken floor architecture makes it feel cozy. The pace of the service is perfect - attentive and not overbearing. Also, the wait staff is incredibly polite and astute - truly professionals. The Bloody Mary is excellent - peppery and the garnish is elegant and delicious. The coffees are what you'd expect from a classy cafe. Our party ordered the pancakes with whipped ricotta and Nutella, the steak and eggs, the mushroom and cheese omelette and the eggs Benedict on salmon. Every dish was delectable- and the accompanying bread was superb. The steak and eggs, cooked medium rare with a green salsa spread were delectable. Absolutely worth the beachside prices. What a beautiful experience. What delicious memories!

    Had brunch here over the weekend with my boyfriend. I wanted to hate this place because it's right in the prime tourist area or SaMo but the food was fantastic and so was the service. We ate outside on their little patio and the ambiance is peaceful but still entertaining since you can people watch. We split an order of their French toast and it was fantastic. I ordered their grilled seasonal fish as well which was healthy but still hearty. My partner had the eggs Benedict which looked yummy as well. Overall we really enjoyed ourselves and will be back!

    We were looking for a brunch spot and found this restaurant with beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean!!! The food was carefully prepared and delicious. The servers were very attentive and friendly. I loved this spot!

    Shutters On The Beach Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Shutters On The Beach

    Is this hotel kid friendly?

    I would call in and double check with concierge but when I was dining there there were several families staying there with children. The children around our table seemed to be having a good time.

    How much is it for a one night stay for 2 people?

    Depends when, but rates usually start at around $500+ per night.

    Is this just a hotel or is it a restaurant too? Is the restaurant part open to the public?

    Yes! There are several restaurants inside that are open to the public. Highly recommend grabbing happy hour on the outside patio. It's not inexpensive, but a great experience for a couple or a few friends.

    Is this for a nice lunch place if visiting the Santa Monica for the first time and want to eat lunch somewhere nice with a beach/ocean .view? Or is there a better suggestion?…

    I would choose Loews, which has tremendous views and great food. Shutters is right on the sand, which is cool, but there are a lot of transients who set up tent cities right out there. The screaming of foul language is a regular occurance, as is…

I…read morecame here with my daughter hoping for a relaxing afternoon of sun and pool time, and while it has potential, there were several limitations that made it less enjoyable than expected. Timing really matters here. It is best to come during off hours if you want any chance of getting a lounge chair to set your belongings down or take a break. When it is busy, seating is very limited and can get crowded quickly. The pool itself is not ideal for young children or anyone expecting a gradual entry. There is no graded or zero-depth entrance. Instead, you enter via a ladder directly into about four feet of water, with a rope separating this area from the deeper section. This setup may be fine for confident swimmers, but it felt less family-friendly than anticipated. Conversely, if you are looking to swim laps, this is not a lap pool. It is purely recreational. The changing and bathroom area is very open, and the showers offer no privacy. The shower water was also quite cold, which was not especially comfortable, particularly for kids. If you are expecting enclosed changing rooms or warm showers, this may be disappointing. Parking is public street parking only, paid at meters, which adds another layer of planning and cost. Overall, while the beach house is in a beautiful spot and can be enjoyable under the right circumstances, the lack of amenities, limited seating, and less-than-ideal pool and changing facilities make it hard to fully relax or recommend, especially for families with young children.

There are games galore to play in the backyard like ping pong. Of course, in the meantime, the Hollister brand is being pimped big time, along with Abercrombie & Fitch--a Hollister corporate partner. But being close enough to the beautiful Santa Monica beach to hear the ocean cannot hurt the "Cali branding" and seems to help equate Hollister with cool , fashionable kids and happy memories of fun in the summertime. I went online to see if there were any free tickets left for a teen wanting to visit the Beach House for a show and darn it--they were all sold out and wait listing.

Which is very rare these days. It's a 2 story house that has been turned into this bar & nightclub. They have a dj as well. Several rooms and patio seating as also. The crowd varied in age. I even met another mother who was there with her daughter. So when I say it's an all ages establishment I mean it. The bar staff was nice and there were multiple bars to service the patrons. I don't think the bars were ever over crowded. The djs and music was solid. Variety of hip hop and pop and edm music was played. Plenty of room to dance. The one issue we ran into was security. Minutes before closing my daughter's boyfriend approached her on the dance floor. A drunk and over zealous young lady attacked him. She pushed him with 2 hands in his chest and screamed at him to leave my daughter alone. Moments later security approached HIM and asked him to leave? When I interjected and tried to explain the misunderstanding security told me they didn't care. That's when I told this kid I was old enough to be his dad and this is my daughter's boyfriend. I explained to him the female should be kicked out not him. He did nothing wrong. But we would not cause any problems and would just leave anyways. The way security handled the situation was diabolical. Their job is to protect the patrons and listen to them when there is an issue. Not ignore than and not care to find out what the truth of the matter is. For this I have to 1 star this establishment.

It was fascinating to learn this was only one of the guest quarters on this oceanfront property, along with the lavish 110-room mansion the actress shared with William Randolph Hearst. Sadly, everything else except one pool was bulldozed for a parking lot! Though Davies had numerous affairs, she remained Hearst's mistress until he died.
