"The leafy hillside property is peaceful enough to make you forget that the hotel's actually just a stone's throw from the massive 405 Freeway."
Fodor's
"On seven landscaped acres near the Getty Center, the Luxe feels like a secluded country club—but it's also next to the I–405 for easy freeway access." Full review
DK Eyewitness

Gayot

And the in-house eatery, On Sunset Restaurant, dishes out California cuisine with a hint of French flair (don't miss the jazz brunch on Sundays).
Michelin Guide
"If anything the rooms are even more stylish than the public spaces, and they’re long on comfort as well. The look is sleek and contemporary, the interiors clearly designed rather than just decorated" Full review

"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

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."
