SANTA MONICA, California — The Georgian, a storied oceanfront hotel on Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica, California, recently joined The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, a global portfolio of distinctive luxury hotels known for their individuality and character.
Perched along the Pacific with its striking facade, The Georgian has been part of Santa Monica’s shoreline since the 1930s, offering Havana-deco flourishes and sunlit public rooms. Following a careful restoration completed in 2023 by owner and operator JB Hotel Group, The Georgian re-emerged as a living piece of Santa Monica culture. The landmark’s turquoise frontage was meticulously restored to its original hue while art deco plasterwork and moldings were revived, and historic detailing throughout the public spaces was preserved and restored. Landscaped terraces and refreshed coastal plantings now frame the ocean-facing outlook.
The Georgian offers 84 guest rooms, including 28 suites, many offering views of the Pacific. Inside, the spirit of the 1930s lingers in the detailing, yet the experience is unmistakably contemporary.
Planners will find storied backdrops for events hosted at The Georgian. Gallery 33 is a light-filled, gallery-style setting ideal for intimate social gatherings, artist dinners and cocktail receptions, and can accommodate up to 40 guests. The Writer’s Room is a Fettle-designed space that is ideal for smaller, intimate gatherings or private dinners of up to 20 guests.
The Georgian actively nurtures its role as a cultural anchor. The Library, neighboring Gallery 33, offers a complimentary selection of wines, digestifs, and refreshments. Guests will enjoy perusing the fully stocked study of curated books ranging from modern best sellers to vintage books. Gallery 33 also features year-round exhibits that celebrate the best of arts and culture in Los Angeles.
The Georgian’s signature restaurant celebrates seasonal Californian produce in an art deco setting. An intimate bar nods to the hotel’s Hollywood-era past with classic cocktails and late-evening energy, and a relaxed cafe space opens toward Ocean Avenue, inviting both guests and locals.
The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brings together independent hotels notable for their authenticity, story and sense of place. For The Georgian, membership means enhanced global visibility through Hyatt’s distribution and reservation platforms, participation in the World of Hyatt loyalty program and connection to a global network of travelers seeking distinctive experiences.
