Shutters on the Beach

Description

With an oceanfront address as stylish as its chic, unpretentious décor, Shutters outclasses most of the nearby hotel competition. Its crisp gray and white exterior, enlivened with flower-covered trellises and balconies, brings to mind an upscale version of the classic clapboard beach cottage. Inside, the attractive lobby gives guests their first experience of Shutters’ snappy appeal. Original artwork, comfy leather sofas, and a stenciled ceiling contribute to an atmosphere that’s both sophisticated and relaxed. A few steps from the lobby you’ll find the pool, and one of the nicest outdoor terraces we’ve seen anywhere. Sunny but sheltered, this spacious brick deck commands a panoramic view of the ocean. Ceremonies are held here at day’s end, just as the sun is setting and the sky is awash in color.

For receptions, Shutters offers function rooms of various sizes, all practical and attractively decorated in pale pastels with unique handcrafted light fixtures. The Grand Salon is the largest and most luxurious of the rooms, creating a refined ambiance for special celebrations. A floor-to-ceiling marble mantel holds a handsome wood-burning fireplace, flanked by alternating panels of antiqued beveled mirrors and French moiré satin. The Grand Salon also boasts five spectacular Venetian chandeliers made of hand-blown glass in the shape of leaves, and draped with strands of sparkling shells and beads.

The more intimate Promenade Room divides into three spaces, each of which opens onto an outdoor terrace. Another "room with a view" is the HandleBar Room. Adjacent to Shutters’ popular Coast Café & Bar, HandleBar features marble and stone flooring and wood millwork throughout, giving the space a warm and cozy Italian feel with a spectacular view of the sea and sand. Rehearsal dinners, bridal and baby showers taking place in this room are unique and refreshing.

Another Shutters attraction is the resort-like accommodations. Rooms have sliding shuttered doors that open to a balmy Pacific breeze, and suites also include a fireplace lined with handmade tiles, and wood floors adorned with thick rugs. Marble baths with windows to the outside, and a host of thoughtful amenities make you feel like you’re a guest in someone’s exclusive beach house.

At the romantic Shutters, you can stage your entire wedding—from rehearsal dinner to honeymoon—right on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
