Shutters on the Beach
What the classifiers highlight
A beach-house-style hotel on the Santa Monica shoreline, styled by designer Michael S. Smith, with a nautical lobby and art by David Hockney and Claes Oldenburg. Rooms keep a residential feel with mahogany floors and narrow ocean-facing balconies. Forbes rates it Four Star; the restaurant 1 Pico serves a seasonal menu near the pier.
