Hotels Own Introduction
The Georgian Hotel has been the crown jewel of Santa Monica since 1933. Once the playground of Hollywood legends, she has returned as the iconic First Lady of Santa Monica, continuing to bask in the spotlight. Each room combines the comfort and familiarity of a home-away-from-home with meticulous attention to detail that will delight and inspire the most stylish adventurers. As Virginia Woolf said, one cannot "think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well." At The Georgian, you can expect to be wined, dined, and entertained in decadent style. As for who will be at the next table or what will happen next – well, that's a story for another time...
