Frommer's "One of L.A.'s three finest hotels... Has risen above the rest by making ultraservice its hallmark." Full review
Concierge "Tucked away amid quiet gardens just west of Beverly Hills' main drag, this hotel has the impeccable and invisible service you'd expect from a Peninsula outpost."
Fodor's "This French Rivera–style palace is a favorite of Hollywood bold-face names, but all kinds of visitors consistently describe their stay as near perfect—though expensive." Full review

"One of the best hotels -- if not the best hotel -- in the entire L.A. area, the Peninsula bills itself, accurately, as an "exclusive oasis"." Full review

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."
