Sophisticated modern hotel in the heart of O.C., the garden setting on a man-made lake adds to the peaceful vibe.

An easy stroll to the ocean. Park the car for free and flip-flop on over.

Rooms take ya back to the romantic Victorian era (without forgoing mod cons like oversized marble showers, WiFi + gas fireplaces).

Directly across the street from the sun and surf of Doheny State Beach.

Hotel pool for when you feel like getting splashy.

Perfect beach-goer practicality right on the PCH. Capitalize on a Cappy's breakfast with a TidePoole's sandwich for lunch, both are flip-flop distance.

Basic neutral palette rocks the occasional bold blue accent wall or a pop of sunny yellow just to keep things interesting.

Perfectly situated within walking distance of shops, eats and the sands.

In the heart of Seal Beach, a short walk to Main Street and the water.

Like to stretch out? Ultra-roomy suites feature loads of living space and fully equipped kitchens.

Northern France comes to Southern California via ivy, gas lanterns and stonework.

Built by the ancient Mayans (we made that up), this groovy hotel has lots of style and a perfect location on the beach.

Every suite rocks a full-equipped kitchen and dining area – or hit the outdoor BBQs and show fellow guests how it’s done.

Only a couple blocks from Redondo Pier restaurants and the beach, the perfect distance to fully shake the sand out of your shoes (or anywhere else).
