Situated on Laguna Beach’s craggy coastline overlooking Main Beach, Casa Loma Beach Hotel officially opens to guests. A tribute to the area’s history, the new property features 70 guestrooms and debuts its multimillion-dollar rebrand and renovation.

The hotel, formerly known as The Inn at Laguna Beach, brings comfort and the colors of the sea into each guestroom, complete with custom beds, built-in desks, sofas, relaxed textiles, eye-catching throw blankets, Canyon Coffee pour-over set ups, amenities from D.S. & DURGA, and Tivoli Model One Radios. Thirty-eight of the guestrooms also include private balconies or patios, most of which look out across the Pacific Ocean and Main Beach below.

The hotel is one large, immersive art experience thanks to the hotel’s work with graphic and branding firm LAND, from the lobby mural to hand-painted tapestries in each guestroom. In the lobby lies the bar and lounge, promising views of the ocean with floor-to-ceiling windows. Casa Loma’s culinary offerings are semi-exclusive experiences only available to hotel guests and Laguna Beach residents, focusing on a European seaside food and beverage program. Guests are greeted with welcome drinks featuring Madre agave spirits. In the evening, old-world wines and cocktails are on offer, as well as cookies baked fresh by local favorite Rye Goods.
