Laguna Beach Unveils New Era of Oceanfront Luxury

Laguna Beach in Southern California is well-known for its natural and artistic beauty as well as its clean coastal locale. Amid the many cookie-cutter beach-side hotels dotting the South Coast Highway, the elegant, if not grand, beachside Surf & Sand Laguna Beach is one of the last remaining luxury properties to actually give guests a leap into their oceanfront experience. With its recent multi-million dollar renovated, this historic hotel has upped the ante, offering folks a healthy dose of classic coastal charm mixed with modern luxury. The revamp of the property, which took two years, is something of a rarity at a time when there are few beachside developments. The hotel, with its long-time clientele and residential vibe, has been a favorite getaway since it first opened in 1948, in part because being so close to the water is unusual in today’s construction climate. The updated design and renovated amenities enhance the hotel’s allure even more, offering even more to those who want something comfortable, exclusive and directly touching the ocean. One of the standout features of Surf & Sand Laguna Beach’s renovation is its redesigned lobby. Two guest rooms were removed to provide a sweeping panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, immediately drawing guests into the mesmerizing landscape as soon as they enter the property. This strategic alteration not only maximizes the connection with nature but also introduces a curated art collection that adds vibrant color to the property’s minimalist décor.
