Shutters on the Beach Third-generation hoteliers and brothers Thomas and Edward Slatkin acquired One Pico Boulevard in 1991 with a vision to revitalize a long-overlooked stretch of beach, bringing jobs and vibrancy to the community. In 1993, their vision came to life with Shutters on the Beach, LA’s first hotel on the sand in decades, combining Southern California’s relaxed charm with the timeless sophistication of Hamptons or Cape Cod beach houses.
The ideal destination for both business and leisure, Shutters features 198 guest rooms and over 10,000 square feet of indoor and al fresco meeting and event spaces. The design embodies the essence of a luxury Southern California lifestyle, seamlessly merging comfort and elegance. Coast Beach Café and Bar, 1 Pico Restaurant, and ONE Spa provide a serene escape, with a team that delivers thoughtful hospitality tailored to every need.
In 1999, ETC Hotels commitment to the redevelopment of the west end of Pico Boulevard with a spectacular interior renovation and exterior restoration of Casa del Mar, a historic landmark neighboring Shutters on the Beach.
Originally built in 1926 as the exclusive Club Casa del Mar, the Mediterranean-style villa now complements Shutters with its restored Renaissance Revival architecture and grand, contemporary coastal interiors. Boasting 129 elegant guest rooms and suites, including three stunning two-story penthouses, the Sea Wellness Spa, Terrazza Restaurant, a vibrant Lobby Lounge, and lauded meeting and event venues, Casa del Mar continues its legacy as a premier luxury destination on Santa Monica Beach.
