DogFriendly.com's Travel Guide: Casa Laguna Inn & Spa

The Casa Laguna Inn & Spa was voted 'Best of Orange County' for nine consecutive years by the OC Register and was awarded the Silver Medal in the 2007 'Inn-credible Breakfast Cook-off.' In addition, this 22 room hotel was a featured 'Romantic Stay' in the November 2007 issue of Sunset Magazine and listed as 'Best Coastal Inn' in the October 2007 issue of Coastal Living Magazine.

Terraced on a hillside in Laguna Beach, CA amid tropic gardens and flower splashed patios, the Casa Laguna Inn & Spa exudes an ambiance of bygone days when Laguna Beach, California was developing its reputation as an artists' colony and hideaway for Hollywood film stars.

The mission style architecture of this Laguna Beach bed and breakfast set below towering palms framing views of the blue Pacific invites you to linger, to slow your pace to that of another less hurried era. This feeling will be reinforced as you take your breakfast or afternoon refreshments in the historic Mission House or on one of the many secluded patios.

The magnificent Palm Court, the bougainvillea-vined courtyard and the ocean-view pool deck will enchant you with their fountains and rare Catalina tiles. Another true touch of classic Laguna Beach, California is the Bell Tower, the perfect place to catch spectacular sunsets over Catalina Island.

Breakfast at the Casa Laguna Inn is a very important part of the experience. The philosophy at this Laguna Beach hotel echoes that of the Slow Foods Movement, of which the owners of the Casa Laguna Inn & Spa are members. When asked what inspires him in the kitchen, Chef Paul Blank states simply, ' my love of food, the feeling of accomplishment when a dish is prepared and presented well and most importantly, the satisfaction of our guests.'

Two lovely beaches are a few minutes walk from this Laguna Beach hotel. Victoria Beach is the white sandy one while Moss Point offers tide pools and coves. Located one and a half miles south of Main Beach, we are a short distance from the many boutiques, pottery shops, and galleries for which Laguna Beach, CA is famous.

The Casa Laguna Inn & Spa welcomes well behaved, clean and healthy pets traveling with their people. There are a number of restaurants and attractions nearby that are pet-friendly. In addition to running the inn, the owners raise Guide Dog Puppies for Guide Dogs of America. Emory, a career-changed Guide Dog spends his days greeting guests and serving as the Goodwill Ambassador at Casa Laguna.

There is a nominal nightly charge of $25/pet and an additional registration form guests must complete when they arrive. If traveling with pets, please indicate the number, type and names of your pets when making your reservation. Pets may not be left in your room unattended.
