Pacific Edge Hotel

Laguna Beach, CA

There are plenty of places to stay in Laguna Beach, but not all manage to strike a balance of indoor and outdoor eye candy quite like Pacific Edge Hotel. As the name implies, the 130-key hotel is located on prime real estate right on the water, with a handful of rooms smack dab on Sleepy Hollow Beach. 

The views here are priceless—days start and end catching the sun rise and fall over the Pacific—but they don’t end indoors. Formerly a family-oriented beachside motel, Pacific Edge is now much more contemporary and appealing, making it the ultimate destination for a coastal getaway.
