WINE SPECTATOR –  To Sleep With Angels

“Founded in 1933, the Georgian brings a taste of Old Hollywood to its position across the street from the Santa Monica Beach. . . The muted colors and doors with porthole-style peepholes reflect the Georgian’s Art Deco character . . .”  Daniel Sogg

TRAVEL HOLIDAY – Insider

“What you get at the Georgian is a classic beach hotel whose exterior, public areas, and service have been buffed to a shine.  Plus it’s a five-minute walk to almost anywhere you want to go.”

 “Located on a palm tree-lined cliff that overlooks the Pacific Ocean, this turquoise-and-gold gem has 84 cozy rooms and 28 suites (most with ocean views).  Have breakfast at its Speakeasy restaurant, where Clark Gable and Carol Lombard once dined."

COASTAL LIVING – Santa Monica at a Saunter

“The Georgian Hotel (. . . attractively renovated historic hotel . . .) makes a historic headquarters for pedestrian rambling.  During Prohibition, this Art Deco gem sequestered the likes of Gable and Lombard.  Its former Speakeasy has gone respectable as the breakfast room.”

“The Georgian’s prime location on Ocean Ave., smack-dab in the middle of Santa Monica’s best walking area, facilitates car-free wanderings.  Windows facing the ocean also overlook Palisades Park, where palm trees shade an endless parade of in-line skaters, joggers, and cyclists.”  Joyce Gregory Wyels and Vicki Leon

MODERN MATURITY –  Rooms with a Pedigree

“In California, the Georgian Hotel, my art deco digs on Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica, bespeaks another era – sconces; tall, arched windows; and other art deco flourishes . . . the window from the pre-Hermetic Period that open easily onto the sea.  Even the view feels historic:  the old Santa Monica pier (with new carousel), the burnished sunlight that plays through the thick palms in a seaside park across the street.”   David Butwi

“The Georgian couldn’t be better positioned for sunsets and shopping, martinis and making merry.  You’re walking distance to the Pier, the Palisades, the Third Street Promenade, and Santa Monica Place shopping.”

“A member of the Historic Hotels of America under the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the building’s eight-story Art Deco façade is a treasure of turquoise and gold architectural reliefs, with a signature oceanfront, covered veranda.  European travelers and today’s Hollywood power-brokers (Oliver Stone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robert DeNiro) are known to be attracted to its celebrated charms.”
