Spend Hanukkah in Style This Year
at Shutters on the Beach

Santa Monica, Calif. (November 23, 2005) - For the first time in its 12-year history Shutters on the Beach is hosting a special Hanukkah Experience. On December 25, the first day of Hanukkah, guests can celebrate in luxury on the shores of Santa Monica Bay. Shutters' Hanukkah Experience includes overnight accommodations and a gourmet, traditional Hanukkah dinner created by celebrated Executive Chef Erik Oberholtzer.

For $295 per night, guests can escape from the stressful holiday season in one of Shutters' well-appointed rooms. Freshly re-invented this year by renowned interior designer Michael S. Smith, the rooms continue to evoke a sense of comfortable beach luxury with updates including in-room reading libraries, and fine textiles and furnishings.

For this year's festive foods, Executive Chef Oberholtzer will serve a three-course traditional Hanukkah feast on Dec. 26, to satisfy even the finicky gastronomes in the family. Old Fashioned Chicken Noodle Soup or a Winter Beet Salad with Butter Lettuce and Tarragon Vinaigrette whets the palate for an entrée of Slow Roasted Beef Brisket with Potato Pancakes and Apple Sauce or a Roasted Rosie Chicken with Savory Kugel and Vegetable Latkes.

Before retiring to Shutters' welcoming rooms and quaint conversation areas or for a stroll along Santa Monica's Promenade, guests can complete their Hannukah dinner with Apple Strudel and Cinnamon Ice Cream. For added holiday indulgence or a refresher before the festivities, guests can visit ONE, the Spa at Shutters on the Beach, which surrounds them with more of Michael S. Smith's tranquil interiors as they enjoy the famed Ole Henriksen's signature treatments.

Conveniently located eight miles from Los Angeles International Airport and within walking distance of some of L.A.'s most fashionable shopping areas, Shutters offers Hanukkah celebrants everything they could need for a stress-free holiday. Valid December 26-27, 2005, with a two-night minimum stay, based on double occupancy. Guests can call 800.334.9000 to make a reservation for Shutters' Hannukah Experience, or contact the hotel directly at 310.458.0030.
