Now open on Ocean Avenue, The Georgian Hotel in Santa Monica CA is stunning people following extensive renovations.
The developers behind the project are Jon Blanchard and Nicolo Rusconi of BLVD, who in 2014 transformed United Artists Theatre into the stylish Ace Hotel, a linchpin in transforming the image of downtown L.A. To restore the 84-room Santa Monica hotel, they tapped Tom Parker, Co-Founder of London-L.A. design firm Fettle.
The hotel is full of such whimsical details, which bring to mind the old-world hospitality and service of Wes Anderson’s “Grand Budapest Hotel”. Guests walk into the historic lobby with Havana Deco floors, custom chandeliers and original wall reliefs. There’s Champagne served upon check-in in the discreet library, where shelves of style and culture books are curated by Culver City’s beloved Arcana Books on the Arts.
