The Georgian Hotel: Santa Monica Beach Hotel

Today’s post is the first of a recent trip to California. The first stop was in Santa Monica, which is a place that I have been before and love! We stayed at the Georgian Hotel, which is an iconic hotel right across from the beach in Santa Monica. It is an historic art deco building and painted the prettiest colour ever! I am sure you have seen it if you have visited Santa Monica before.

This trip was with my friend Joelle Friend because it is always more fun traveling with friends!

We stayed in a suite at the Georgian Hotel with an epic ocean view.  It had a bedroom that was separated from the main space and just perfect for our girls trip.

We were there in April and the weather was just perfect every day. As soon as we checked in we changed into our suits and went to the beach.

Santa Monica Pier

The Georgian Hotel is also right across from the Santa Monica Pier, too. There are a lot of great photo opportunities waiting there for you, so it is a must see if you go to Santa Monica. It is a lot of fun day or night.

I love the lifeguard stands all along the beach in Santa Monica. Once again, they make a great photo opportunity. My friend Elliott Dunning took this favourite photo for me while I was there.

The sunsets can be amazing, so make sure you are at the beach for that each evening.

    I love California and Santa Monica!! I have been there twice and both times were amazing. We’ve got family close to LA, so it is great. Now only if the flights were cheaper. It looks like you had a blast.
