""Situated on the Pacific shoreline just a few minute's walk (or bike ride) from the historic Santa Monica pier, Shutters on the Beach offers a breath of fresh sea air from LA's see-and-be-seen scene. Linen, wicker, and toile de Jouy replace the city's usual flashy neon and leather. (The leather in the hotel's cozy lobby is more library than rock concert-warm and worn.) A color palette of soft blues, creams, and sand transports you to Cape Cod... without losing that classic California cool atmosphere.""
""Shutters on the Beach has always been a beloved, sun-washed meeting place by the ocean, and with that comes a responsibility. Our approach was never to reinvent, but to carefully evolve what people already loved," says Kehoe. "We wanted the lobby, or as it's called, the Living Room, to feel like the heart of a well-loved coastal home, one that greets you with warmth and familiarity the moment you arrive.""
Shutters on the Beach sits steps from the Santa Monica pier and projects a relaxed coastal aesthetic of linen, wicker, and toile de Jouy in soft blues, creams, and sand. Designer Amy Kehoe refurbished the lobby to feel like the heart of a well-loved coastal home, preserving beloved elements while subtly evolving the design. The scheme pairs an ivory-and-tan base with mahogany accents and mixes vintage finds with custom pieces to convey a collected-over-time look. The property will mark Santa Monica’s 150th birthday in 2025 with a decade-inspired cocktail menu.
