Santa Monica has long been a challenging destination for World of Hyatt® members looking to redeem points at a true oceanfront property, but that is now changing with the addition of a historic hotel directly on Ocean Avenue. The Georgian Hotel has officially joined the World of Hyatt® as part of The Unbound Collection. This gives travelers a long-awaited beachfront option in one of Los Angeles’ most desirable coastal neighborhoods.
Located along Ocean Avenue, the hotel sits directly across from the beach and offers access to the shoreline, the Santa Monica Pier, and the popular beach path. Unlike other nearby Hyatt-affiliated properties that are set further inland, this location allows guests to stay right by the ocean while remaining within walking distance of restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. The central location also makes it possible for visitors to explore Santa Monica without needing a car.
Originally opened in 1933, The Georgian Hotel is a landmark Art Deco building that has long been part of Santa Monica’s coastal identity. The property recently underwent a full restoration to preserve its historic design while introducing modern upgrades. The hotel features 84 guest rooms (including 28 suites) with many offering direct views of the Pacific Ocean. The refreshed design blends classic Hollywood-era style with contemporary touches, creating a boutique atmosphere rather than a traditional resort experience.
The hotel offers several on-site dining options that emphasize local character and California-inspired cuisine. Guests can dine at a signature restaurant focused on seasonal ingredients, enjoy cocktails at a bar inspired by the hotel’s Hollywood past, or visit a café that opens onto Ocean Avenue. The spaces are designed to attract both travelers and locals. Additional features include a curated library space and an art gallery that showcases both established and emerging artists to reinforce the hotel’s role as a cultural hub in Santa Monica.
As a Category 6 property within the World of Hyatt® program, award nights at The Georgian Hotel range from 21,000 to 29,000 points. Cash rates often start around $500 per night and can rise significantly during peak travel seasons.
Tamara Lohan, Global Brand Leader of Luxury at Hyatt, said:
I am truly delighted that such an iconic and beautiful hotel is joining The Unbound Collection by Hyatt. From its unmistakable turquoise façade to its art deco detailing that nods to the glamour of Hollywood’s golden age, The Georgian carries a personality that is both confident and timeless. Our role is to protect and celebrate that individuality — its history, its design, its sense of theatre — while bringing the power and global reach of Hyatt to support its next chapter.”
Anthony’s Take: Santa Monica is a great place to visit. The addition of The Georgian fills a notable gap in Hyatt’s portfolio in Santa Monica and offers members a rare chance to stay directly on the ocean in one of the city’s most recognizable buildings.
