Casa del Mar and Shutters on the Beach, Los Angeles

First built in 1926 for a whopping $2,000,000, Casa del Mar soon became the most glamorous grande dame of Southern California beach clubs. After changing hands several times, the Santa Monica beachfront hotel was given a $50 million renovation eight years ago. Next door is the hotel’s sister property Shutters on the Beach. Works by David Hockney and William Wegman adorn the walls. Britney Spears and Pamela Anderson enjoy both hotels on a regular basis.
