ABOUT
Fiercely Independent. Truly Beachfront.
We’ve always been a little different and marched to the beat of our own waves. Yet it’s these waves and the natural ambiance of our surroundings that ground everything we do. From the earthy and understated elegance of our spacious hotel rooms to our relaxed vibe, we've designed an experience that lets you disconnect and focus on what really matters.
Set just below the horizon line, our shorebreak pool is the perfect setting to watch the waves roll in. No matter the season, we make sure the pool maintains a comfortable 83F year-round.
Cozy up with a blanket and watch the sunset from our communal fire pits, perfect for when the air off the Pacific comes in a bit chilly.
Are you particular about your pillows? Us, too. Choose from 7 different pillow varieties to feather your stay.
Leave the car parked and roam Carlsbad far and wide with one of our Electra Beach Cruisers, available as complimentary bike rentals in the lobby.
Create a little more magic during your stay with our in-room play tents. Little ones will love a special space, all to themselves. Call our Front Desk at 760-729-5951 to reserve for $40 per stay.
Save the extra room in your suitcase for souvenirs! We've got beach towels, umbrellas, toys, and more for your days by the ocean.
Enjoy additional in-room comforts, including surf ponchos by West Path, in-room yoga kits, a reading menu with superb recommendations, bath and shower amenities from LA scent designer APOTHIA, and more.
Our Game Library is now open! Visit our cozy lobby to warm up by the fire and engage in a little friendly competition with complimentary board games to play in your guest room or anywhere around the hotel.
We don't mess around with your morning coffee. Select the in-room coffee system of your choice, whether that be illy, Nespresso, Keurig, or a Chemex pour-over, and start your vacation right.
