Casa Laguna Inn

Laguna Beach, California

On a terraced hillside with tropical gardens and flower-splashed patios, the historic Casa Laguna exudes the ambiance reminiscent of a time when Laguna Beach was an artists' colony and a hideaway for film stars.

The secluded patios enhance the sense that this classic mission-styled Inn may still hold Hollywood secrets. Today the patios, with their fountains and rare Catalina tiles provide retreats for travelers after a day exploring Laguna's shops and beaches. Sunsets are spectacular and are best seen from the Casa's classic bell tower.
