Casa Laguna Inn & Spa

NileGuide Expert tip:

The restaurant serves a gourmet breakfast and evening appetizers to registered guests only.

Description:

• Located on a terraced hillside in Laguna Beach, Orange County, California, Casa Laguna's mission-style buildings and lush green gardens exude the romantic ambiance of bygone days when Laguna Beach developed its reputation as an artist colony and hideaway for Hollywood film stars. Towering palms frame spectacular expansive views of the blue Pacific Ocean, and a myriad of secluded patios invite you to linger, relax, and rejuvenate. Lounge on the sunny pool deck, take a dip in our heated pool, or reserve a picnic lunch to take to nearby Victoria Beach. Our on-site spa offers a variety of massage services, including hot stone and couples massage. As you snuggle down in one of our antique beds among luxurious eco-friendly linens, we invite you to dream of breakfast – not just any breakfast, but your choice of several culinary masterpieces by our celebrated chefs. At Select Registry's Inn-Credible Breakfast Cook-off, Casa Laguna chefs won the Silver Medal in 2007, and the Gold Medal in 2008. There's also an evening wine and cheese reception, featuring an array of gourmet appetizers created in-house. While you enjoy your evening wine, visit with fellow-guests in the Mission House, or sneak away to the Bell Tower to enjoy a magnificent Catalina sunset. Our rooms are all designed for one or two adult guests only, and are not appropriate for children. Our inn welcomes well behaved, clean and healthy pets, with certain restrictions. We can also recommend a number of pet-friendly (outdoor patio) restaurants, as well as dog parks and beaches. Casa Laguna is within walking distance of two superb restaurants; as well as beaches and tide pools. We are less than two miles from downtown Laguna Beach shops, art galleries, and summer festivals. Casa Laguna was voted "Best of Orange County" for nine consecutive years by the OC Register; and, we were featured as a "Romantic Stay" in Sunset Magazine and a "Best Coastal Inn" in Coastal Living Magazine.
