"When The Breakers Hotel debuted along Ocean Boulevard in Long Beach, California, it immediately drew the attention of high-flying urbanites. In the years to come, the hotel became a hot spot for celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor and John Wayne, who enjoyed its opulent exteriors and culinary offerings. Now, after a multimillion-dollar renovation and under the management of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, guests returned on Nov. 19. The hotel features a towering Mediterranean-inspired facade, a lobby with new marble flooring and grand chandeliers, and 185 guest rooms and suites designed with a timeless feel. Dining options include the Sky Room restaurant with a contemporary seafood menu and Nettuno, offering Italian cuisine with a California twist. The property also includes the ultra-chic jazz bar, Alter Ego, a new spa, a fitness center, and a rooftop swimming pool. Nightly rates start from $349 per night." - Dobrina Zhekova Dobrina Zhekova Dobrina Zhekova is a freelance writer with over a decade of editorial experience in Europe and the U.S. She covers luxury travel, art, architecture, and design.
