Great DealsCasa Laguna Inn - SideStep |
Our No. 3 spot boasts more than a Spanish name. From its clay tile roof and white adobe walls to a courtyard filled with fragrant bougainvillea blossoms, Casa Laguna Inn and Spa’s hacienda-inspired good looks put this Laguna Beach hotel in a class of its own.
As its name suggests, Casa Laguna Inn and Spa truly feels like home. This private Laguna residence turned seaside sanctuary has harbored many an artist in its day, and today offers a luxurious refuge for world-weary travelers. At Casa Laguna, Old World elegance and modern comforts blend for casual luxury, and upscale amenities like high-thread count sheets and Pacific Ocean views come sans the usual pretense. Even gourmet breakfasts featuring locally grown produce and seafood selections are delightfully complemented by wine and cheese receptions as each day draws to a close.
Flickering candles are the lighting of choice here, with Laguna Beach’s spectacular sunsets a close second. Casa Laguna’s historic Bell Tower offers an idyllic vantage point for admiring the view, while charming patios overlook both of the inn’s stunning water features. When a swimming pool such as Casa Laguna’s counts the Pacific Ocean as its neighbor, you’d expect the latter’s impossibly blue waters to take center stage. But hand-painted Catalina tiles, a rare find in the modern age, are the true show stealers at this Laguna Beach inn.
