Offering an outdoor pool and a spa and wellness centre, Casa Laguna Hotel & Spa is located in Laguna Beach.

The hotel is 3.3 km from Heisler Park and 3.7 km from 1000 Steps Beach. Los Angeles International Airport is 75 km away from Casa Laguna Hotel & Spa. A wonderful small boutique hotel that's puts a capital C in their marketing description of curated. The design and feel of the hotel is very stylish which we felt was a fusion of Moorish and Mediterranean style blessed with Southern Californian charm. The service from front desk, chef and everyone else was amazing, so friendly, attentive and nothing seems a hassle. The little touches from live music and mimosa's at the weekend, to arrival calming white wine sangria and the "evening peanut" cookies were superb. Our room was beautifully appointed (reality matched the marketing pictures), clean and Cowshed bathroom products are extremely nice. We ate a few times in the hotel and the food quality was excellent even though the selection not extensive. Overall a magical place to stay for a few days to take a calm moment.
