Shutters Santa Monica:
Cape Cod-Style Beach Luxury
Shutters Santa Monica is a favorite retreat for celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie, and Ben Affleck, who choose to stay here - despite having homes less than 30 minutes away.
Why would they choose to come here?
The answer is simple: A stay in the luxe, New England, Cape Cod-style resort feels worlds apart from your everyday life - whether that life is 30 freeway miles or half a world away.
Exquisitely Appointed Guest Rooms
Shutters Santa Monica opened in the summer of 1993, with 186 guest rooms and 12 suites.

Three private suites feature full ocean views, extra large bathrooms with oversized whirlpool bathtubs, additional powder rooms, full-size living rooms with fireplaces, dining tables to seat 4 to 6 people, and additional fireplaces in the master bedrooms.
Two of those are one-bedroom, 1,350 square foot presidential suites in the Ocean House building. The third is grand 1,500 square-foot suite in the Beach House.
Complimentary house-car transportation in the hotel's Tesla S class is available to suites and oceanfront room guests.
Even the standard guest room is a step into coastal luxury.
Each features beach-inspired decorative objects as part of the decor; many also have views of the coastline and the historic Santa Monica Pier through sliding, shuttered doors that open to a balcony.
Four poster beds, comfy lounge chairs, walnut desks and nightstands and custom-made white linens add to distinctly elegant decor.
Each guest room also features a reading library, 42-inch flat screen LCD television, and expansive bathrooms with hardwood floors.
There's also a pool and jacuzzi practically hidden on the roof of the main building that's the perfect venue for a sunset dip or soak.
