Shutters on the Beach!

Thursday, 24 May 2012

I don’t often do blog posts about hotels (I know I have mentioned my dislike of the impersonal and generic spaces once or twice before). In order for a hotel to truly impress me, it has to be unique or have rooms that feel and look nothing like hotel rooms at all. Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica fits this criteria well. The rooms look so homely and inviting (fireplaces in hotel rooms… oh the glamour), the beds look as comfortable as clouds, the colour scheme is calming and serene, the location is beyond spectacular and I have even fallen in love with the logo!

What do you expect from hotel rooms? Are you an all-luxury kind of gal or do you just need somewhere clean to lay your head?

  1. It is gorgeous. I attended a wedding here last year and it is exactly as your pics show. I'm definitely a "luxury girl"; camping just doesn't do it for me ;-)

  2. To be honest, as the Mum of three young girls, as long as it's clean, I'm happy - just getting away is a treat. But who wouldn't want to stay at any of your places above?! Gorgeous! xxx

  4. Wow, what a stunning hotel! I usually don't splurge to stay somewhere super luxurious - I'd rather spend my money on good food and fun activities!

  6. Clean makes me happy too. Nothing worse than being in a room where you don't want to touch anything and you don't want anything touching you. This is gorgeous.
