BEACH HOUSE HOTEL HALF MOON BAY
A PICTURE OF COASTAL CHARM

Tucked in the small and beautifully scenic coastal town of Half Moon Bay, California is Beach House Hotel Half Moon Bay. The 54-loft suite hotel is perched atop a scenic cliff giving way to dramatic vistas of the Pacific coastline while each room exudes a sense of warmth and inviting comfort reminiscent of visiting a friend's private beach home.

The close knit town of Half Moon Bay is best known for its many activities and as one of Mother Nature's finest and most varied natural playgrounds. From the hottest surf in California, to scenic bluff and hilltop hiking trails, to the marvels at the tide pools, to acres of hot houses and field flowers, the Beach House Hotel is centrally located to enjoying it all. The area also boasts award-winning championship golf courses, local wineries for touring and tastings, wonderful dining, and classic Main Street shops and galleries.

The rooms of this cozy boutique hotel were designed as open studios to provide optimal views of the Pacific Ocean. Rooms spill over with natural sunlight and some offer loft ceilings. All offer spacious private patios or balconies. Separate bedroom and living spaces allow for a true home away from home experience. Other comforts include: fireplaces, wet bars and a full sink, microwaves, refrigerators, inviting goose down comforters, organic cotton robes, a five-disc stereo system, and complimentary overnight parking.

For workaholics needing to keep in touch with the office or those lucky enough to be on a business trip in Half Moon Bay, each room is equipped with three, two-line telephones complete with voice mail. Additionally, all rooms are fax ready and complimentary wireless access is available throughout the hotel.

The surrounding dining scene is varied in its offerings with the casually elegant Mediterranean bistro dining at Cetrella, the fresh tastes at Sushi Main, or the phenomenal views from almost every seat (not to mention the resident "Blue Lady" ghost) and choice steak selections at Moss Beach Distillery, among many others that include dramatic coastline views. Sam's Chowder House is located next door to the hotel and within easy walking distance. This seafood restaurant offers outdoor dining, wonderful views of the Pacific along with great service and food.

The Spa services at the Beach House offer a menu of relaxing and restorative treatments including the signature Beach House Massage with wavelike strokes, Reiki Massage and Aromatherapy. Many of the massages can be arranged in-room and couples massages are also available (all require appointments).
