(SANTA MONICA, CA) – Sept. 2013 — The Georgian Hotel, an iconic beacon of Art Deco beauty
perched above the Pacific Ocean since 1933 and the Santa Monica Conservancy, the only local, non-
governmental organization solely focused on the important mission of preservation, have joined together
to celebrate the rich heritage and architectural wonder of the landmark hotel. To commemorate the
anniversary, the Georgian Hotel has announced a special Anniversary Affair set for Oct. 16 which
will benefit the Santa Monica Conservancy (100% of all ticket sales to go directly to the conservancy).
In addition, the hotel will launch a one-of-a-kind fundraiser which will allow hotel guests to contribute
to the preservation of landmark properties in Santa Monica by donating any amount they wish to the
special Georgian Hotel/Santa Monica Conservancy Matching Fund; the Georgian Hotel will match all
donations through the end of 2013 up to $5000.
“We wanted to celebrate the 80th
we felt that the important work being done by the Santa Monica Conservancy needed to be celebrated
as well,” explains Juan Viramontes, general manager of the Georgian Hotel. “As a company, we have
many ongoing programs which support and raise money for local organizations,” notes Larry Broughton,
CEO, broughtonHOTELS. “With the Georgian Hotel’s 80th

the funds needed to ensure that they can continue to support landmark buildings like the Georgian Hotel.”

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.
The Georgian Hotel is set to honor its fabled past with the Landmark Package. This package will allow
guests the opportunity to take a self-guided tour of some of Santa Monica’s most historical landmarks. With
the aid of the Santa Monica Conservancy’s historical Downtown Santa Monica brochure, hotel guests can
peddle their way through the era’s and get a first-hand and close up look at some of the most beautiful and
architecturally important buildings in Santa Monica. Once on tour, guests can stop at each attraction and
snap a memory on their camera or smart phone. Not only will it be a valuable souvenir to take home, but
once they show the front desk the photos of at least four of the landmarks, they will receive a special gift.
Details for the Landmark Room Package include:
• Book: Starting on September 15th
• Stay: September 15 – December 30, 2013 (Based on availability. Blackout dates may apply.)
• Rates: Starting at $274, plus tax and City Assessment Fees

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. Not only will the speakeasy be home to the 80th
Anniversary party, it will also host a series of upcoming salons hosted by an interesting mix of city mavens
and friends.
To book the Landmark Package, go to www.georgianhotel.com or call (310) 395-9945. The Georgian
Hotel is located at 1415 Ocean Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90401.
The Georgian Hotel continues to be the destination of choice for travelers or locals seeking a coastal respite
or seaside entertainment. It is managed by broughtonHOTELS.
