The Georgian Hotel
1415 Ocean Avenue
Santa Monica, CA 90401
The Georgian Hotel is an Art Deco
boutique property built in 1933. It is across the street from the Beach,
claiming 100% ocean view rooms.
Back in its heyday, a patient onlooker
could spot Clark Gable savoring a martini or Carole Lombard listening to the
strains of jazz on the ocean-facing veranda. During prohibition, the
hotel was a "speakeasy" for famous celebrities and infamous characters.
The Red Griffin room in the hotel's
basement is reportedly haunted with celebrity ghosts. Their pictures hang on
the red flocked wallpaper walls above the wall-to-wall red leather
banquettes. In addition to offering modern luxury, the hotel retains its
charm with a beautiful front porch to sit as the celebrities once did and
sip martinis or cocktails.
Across the street are towering palm
trees and the shimmering Pacific Ocean. Santa Monica offers Los Angeles'
nearest beach playground where celebrities and tourists find the most hotel
rooms, greatest variety of amenities and superb dining and entertainment,
all possible and preferable by parking the car and walking.
