Shutters on the Beach

Choose between the beachy Coast and the New England-chic One Pico at Shutters on the Beach's two dining options for both breakfast and brunch. Large groups should reserve a table near One Pico's fireplace, while groups of two or four can use the front seats with a view of the water. The brunch is served on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The menu has seafood selections like tuna Niçoise salad and lobster BLT as well as adult breakfast favorites like eggs Benedict, lox, and more. The breakfast menu at Coast includes several nutritious alternatives, such as yogurt parfaits and smoothies, and brunch is served on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Shutters, formerly a hip refuge for hot Hollywood celebrities and now a sibling property to Casa del Mar, has a laid-back yet unmistakably sophisticated aesthetic. The lobby, which is adorned with cozy couches, club chairs, and works by contemporary masters like David Hockney, mimics the beach cottage feel of the rooms and suites, which have wonderful, dark hardwood floors and the hotel's distinctive white shutters. Spend a day at the spa or lounge poolside while sipping wine and admiring the ocean if you prefer light pampering to the numerous beach activities. Even if the luxury is understated, it is nevertheless luxury.
