Hotel La Casa Del Camino, Laguna Beach

This hotel was built on a bluff above the Pacific Ocean in 1927 as a retreat for artists and movie stars. The films All Quiet on the Western Front and Evangeline were filmed here. Howard Hughes, Paul Getty, Humphrey Bogart, and Douglas Fairbanks all stayed here at one time or another. For many, it became a quiet escape from the glare of Hollywood. It has recently been painstakingly renovated and upgraded while still maintaining its original charm. All of the rooms are European-style with antique furnishings and beautiful oil paintings on the walls. Step back in time and feel like a movie star yourself as you relax in this charming hotel. Take the steps behind the hotel down to a private cove and beach and enjoy the ocean air or lounge in the comfortable rooms all day.
