Refurbished Art Deco gem The Georgian hotel is putting Santa Monica, California, back on the map for chic lodging, dining and debauchery.
“What it was for me initially was the historic architecture, the exterior, and all the stories,” says Blanchard. “The building was built by a woman named Rosamond Borde, at the time was the tallest building in Santa Monica, and was nicknamed the First Lady.”
Guests walk into the historic lobby with Havana Deco floors, custom chandeliers and original wall reliefs. There’s Champagne served upon check-in in the discreet library, where shelves of style and culture books are curated by Culver City’s beloved Arcana Books on the Arts. The Georgian Room was a who’s who from 1933 to 1960, says Blanchard, pointing to the black-and-white photos and vintage menus on the walls. “We had a very special moment the other day when Dick Van Dyke came for dinner, and shared some amazing stories of performing with his band the Merry Mutes here in 1948,” he says of the supper club, open Thursday to Sunday with live music nightly.
