The
Georgian Hotel, an iconic beacon of Art Deco beauty perched above the Pacific Ocean since 1933, is getting set to commemorate its 80th anniversary throughout 2013 with homage to the past and a celebration of today. Opening at the same time that prohibition was being repealed, King Kong was king at the box office, Duke Ellington was swinging on the dance floors, FDR was leading the nation and the chocolate chip cookie officially made its debut, The Georgian Hotel has been making history as long as the famed martini cocktail has been shaken and stirred.
To honor the charm of its past with its modern boutique hotel amenities of today, The Georgian Hotel (managed by
broughtonHOTELS) plans a series of special events and celebrations, including: a distinctive
Retro Deco Room Package, new 30’s era
Vintage Cocktails, tasty specialty menu items paying homage to
Classic Culinary favorites from the 1930s at the intimate
Veranda Restaurant and the launch of the city’s only Sunday Sunset Tea. Possibly one of the most famous buildings in Los Angeles, The Georgian Hotel was built as an intimate seaside hideaway for the exclusive Hollywood set, and continues to attract Hollywood’s elite and local/national and international visitors seeking the most distinctive boutique hotel experience set in an architectural treasure.
As 2013 officially marks
The Year of The Georgian, the hotel will celebrate 80 years of timeless beauty and unparalleled distinction in hotel hospitality. The Georgian Hotel is set to honor its fabled past with the Retro Deco Room Package harkening back to property’s golden age. Guests can embody the spirit of yester-year with a romantic two-night stay in the stunning ocean view
Carol Lombard or
Clark Gable suite, the original rendezvous point for the silver screen legends. Once nestled in their room, guests will enjoy special in-room entertainment from the period featuring the original
King Kong DVD and
Duke Ellington CDs. The package also includes breakfast for two at the Veranda Restaurant and a welcome classic cocktail, as well as Valet Parking. Of course, each package comes with stunning vistas of the Pacific Ocean below, and all guests can enjoy the sultry sunset just like Fatty Arbuckle and Bugsy Siegel might have done. If they listen closely, they might even just hear the canary sing…
Rich in history and Hollywood glamour, a lesser known fact about The Georgian Hotel was that it was home to one of Los Angeles’ first Speakeasy bars (which still exists today in the hotel’s lower level — with alley-way entry). The Georgian Speakeasy, complete with rich red booths, wood paneling and hidden lower level location, serves as a classic reminder to guests of the hotel’s unique past, while today it serves as a discreet spot for private events and parties. Meanwhile, the famed Veranda Restaurant continues to be Santa Monica’s premiere oceanfront dining destination featuring its unparalleled views overlooking the historic Santa Monica Pier and the Palisades cliffs.
