The Best U.S. Hotel Openings of 2023
The Georgian, Santa Monica, California
BLVD Hospitality, which bought the famed Georgian Hotel in 2020, tasked Fettle Design with breathing new life into the 84-room grande dame while honoring original elements like the iconic turquoise façade and the arches found at the Sunset Bar. A key part of the extensive revitalization was turning the famed Georgian Room, which languished for 50 years, into a fine dining Italian steakhouse and piano bar.
