Santa Monica's beach-chic address
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

For in-the-know locals (including celeb patrons), Shutters is a frequent destination. It is one of Santa Monica’s most beloved spots for everything from seaside brunches and cocktails to poolside basking, especially since the hotel was styled by Obama White House designer Michael S. Smith.
As you enter the lobby, you’re embraced by sea air and a nautical vibe; you’ll see cozy spaces near fireplaces and art from California greats like David Hockney and Claes Oldenburg.
At
1 Pico, below lofted ceilings decorated with antique boat hulls and art nouveau lanterns casting warm light, sample a seasonally driven menu — upscale, but never stuffy.
ONE the Spa is a treat for out-of-towners for a taste of L.A.’s excessive spa services. Make like a local and get a HydraFacial and a CBD cream Swedish massage. Afterward, soak up some sun at the pool.
