    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..

    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.

    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!

    Well, now it's tough to pick my fave changing table between Casa Del Mar and Shutters--talk about a real diaper dilemma! Mommy raves about the grub here more, but I'm all about those plush Casa sofas for my post-nap lounging sessions. Alright, back to the bum business: The Shutters changing table is straight-up five-star luxury. No squishy mattress to sink into, but hey, I get to admire my handsome self in the mirrors while Mommy plays cleanup crew. They've even got size 2 diapers on deck, which is a classy move--though I'm a chunky champ rocking size 3 already, so those are for the rookie rumps out there. Overall, a fantastically fresh experience that'll have you cooing for more!

    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… Read more

There's a parking garage under the building, I believe it was $45 additional to park every day. There's a glass water jar in the room but it costs $6. There's an elevator here and wide hallways. Nice bathrobes and long balconies. There's alcohol in the fridge and snacks you can pay for. I didn't really like the shower that much but it was alright. I've been to a lot of hotels with this style. Water pressure was probably a 6/10. Turning the knob for the initial morning shower sucks cause it's cold and you get hit with the cold water before lol.

I needed a place that could comfortably accommodate my dad, my dog, and me while allowing me to shuttle back and forth to the hospital easily. The Ambrose ended up being just about a two-minute drive from the medical center, which made an enormous difference. When my mom had surgery there a few years ago, I stayed closer to the ocean. Even though it was only about a mile and a half away, the traffic made it take 15 minutes each way to get to the hospital. This time, being so close made everything so much easier during a stressful few days when I was going back and forth constantly. The property itself was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. It was also incredibly convenient to have Tartine right across the street for coffee, breakfast, and quick refreshments. There are also plenty of nearby shops, restaurants, grocery stores, and even specialty markets like Erewhon within minutes. Most importantly, the hotel was very accommodating for my dog Grace, which was essential for our stay. All around, it was a wonderful experience, and I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it--especially for anyone who needs to be close to UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center.

The housekeeping staff was fantastic too. The gentleman who was responsible for our room always asked if we needed anything and if he could provide any assistance in making our stay even better. We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite. The great thing about the suite setup is that the living room with a pull out couch is separated by a door to the bedroom; you could watch TV in one room and not bother the people in the other room. The TVs in each room were oversized and there was a decent sized mini fridge (Target and Trader Joes are just down the street - hello wine and beer!) The walls were thick, as was the main door and hotel noise and street noise was minimal. They have a pool on the 3rd floor that doubles as the covered drop off/entrance area and it was very nice. The breakfast buffet was solid (include made to order eggs), but it was too expensive (approx. $33 per person-tip included.) The best part about our stay were the pillows. Down pillows! The most comfortable pillows I have ever slept on! The beds were solid too. What else? You're a couple of blocks from the Santa Monica Pier and Beach. You're within an 8 minute walk to McDonald's for breakfast (cheaper than the hotel buffet!) and your about a 10 minute walk to the 3rd St Promenade. Our daughter absolutely loved her first trip to the beach and this Hilton property and its staff had a lot to do with that! *Tip 1* Head to Trader Joes to stock up on booze for your room fridge. *Tip 2* They don't have a microwave on property to reheat leftovers or snacks. Plan accordingly.
