Pacific Edge Hotel

A block-and-a-half from the bustling Main Beach Park and downtown, Pacific Edge Hotel is within walking distant to just about anywhere you'd like to go in Laguna Beach. But even more importantly, the almost motel-like rates include access to a private beach and a full array of special services, such as a fitness program on the beach, access to Laguna Health Club, and a discount at local restaurants, shops and galleries. The hotel also has a focus on eco-friendliness. Hybrid cars get 50-percent off on valet parking. For each night of your stay, they donate a small share to the Ocean Institute and the Pacific Marine Mammal Center.
