Concierge "Shutters feels like a rambling seaside villa that's been plucked from Martha's Vineyard and dropped onto the boardwalk below Santa Monica Pier."
Fodor's "The beachfront location and show-house decor make this one of SoCal's most popular luxury hotels." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This delightful hotel right by the sands of Santa Monica takes the beach cottage to new heights."
Rough Guide "This white-shuttered luxury resort south of the pier is the seafront home to the stars."
Travel + Leisure "This sprawling beach-house-style inn looks like it was airlifted from Nantucket and dropped on the Santa Monica shore." Full review
Time Out "Formerly a cool retreat for hot Hollywood stars and now a sister to Casa del Mar, Shutters has a relaxed but decidedly upscale style." Full review
Michelin Guide "A beachside-cottage feel undergirds this property set on the sands of Santa Monica Bay. Relax by the pool or have a massage at the spa."
Star Service "The beachfront setting and pleasurable poolside scene are notable, but the laudable meeting facilities and spring-heeled staff are ready for business at the drop of a sun visor." Full review

Avoid the rooms in the internally connected annex facing east as these could just as well be a separate entity called, "Shutters on the Parking Lot."
Gayot "At this on-the-beach retreat, travelers appreciate the respite from L.A.'s high octane atmosphere."
BlackBook "Plush pied-a-terre and oversized hot tubs for moneyed beach lovers. High-end cottage suites offer feast of Pacific views."

Frommer's "Oscar-night headquarters for the frenzy of participants and paparazzi attending the Academy Awards in the Kodak Theatre next door... shares the same block as two of the city's most famous landmarks." Full review
Fodor's "Part of the massive Hollywood & Highland shopping and entertainment complex, this 20-story Renaissance is at the center of Hollywood's action." Full review

"A large, midrange chain property that draws primarily business travelers, the Loews Hollywood lacks the glitz and glamour that Hollywood connotes." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Managed by Marriott, this art-filled high-rise overlooks Hollywood and Highland."
Rough Guide "The centrepiece of the Hollywood & Highland mall, with arty, boutique-style rooms and suites and a prime location in the heart of Tinseltown."
Star Service "Looking trendier than in the past, this is not a deluxe offering, though it offers solid standards all around; service is a strong point and staff are geared to upper-midrange business travelers." Full review
Gayot "This twenty-story building rises out of the Hollywood & Highland complex, which contains the Dolby Theatre (home to the Academy Awards) and an assortment of shops and restaurants."
BlackBook "Step one: Take over the former Renaissance hotel. Step two: Insert Exhale Spa. Step three: Throw in $25 million for a renovation. Results: A contemporary, 632-room hotel with oodles of style."

""Cool, hip and trendy", this "centrally located" former Renaissance Hotel sports excellent rooms with a view of the city or Hills."
Jetsetter "Great-for-families hotel in the middle of the Hollywood action." Full review
