Terraced on a hillside in Laguna Beach, CA amid tropic gardens and flower- splashed patios, this hotel exudes an ambiance of bygone days when Laguna Beach was developing its reputation as an artist’ colony and hideaway for Hollywood film stars. The mission style architecture of this bed and breakfast set below towering palms framing views of the blue Pacific invites you to linger, to slow your pace to that of another less hurried era. This feeling will be reinforced as you take your breakfast or afternoon refreshments in the historic Mission House or on one of the many secluded patios. The magnificent Palm Court, the bougainvillea-vined courtyard and the ocean-view pool deck will enchant you with their fountains and rare Catalina tiles. Another true touch of classic Laguna Beach is the Bell Tower, the perfect place to catch spectacular sunsets over Catalina Island. Smoking is only allowed outdoors. Please no smoking inside the inn.
