THE MANY FACES OF A SOCAL BEACH RETREAT

Hermosa Beach, CA (August, 2007) – A beach getaway... just hours away from home, but a world away in weather. Sunny and warm with average temperatures in the mid-70s and lots to do when staying at the Beach House Hotel Hermosa Beach. Our rates vary according to view (standard to ocean front) and weekday to weekend and are listed below. In addition, here are just three examples of why Hermosa Beach and the Beach House Hotel can make a perfect vacation - even for a day:

Rent a bike at Hermosa Cyclery - just steps out the front door of the Beach House Hotel. In business for over 30 years, the shop offers beach cruisers, tandems, and kid's bikes. Rates start at $7/hour for a cruiser, $6/ hour for children/ and $13/hour for tandems and day rates are available as well. Protective gear helmets are also included.

Play with a Pro - Take a volleyball lesson with resident Olympic Gold Medallist and AVP athlete Eric Fonoimoana and learn to play like a pro - or at least have fun trying. Rates start at $75/ hour, two hour minimum and private, semi-private and group lessons are available. All by appointment so contact Eric at 310.350-5578 or email him (ericfonoi@msn.com) during your stay or before arrival to guarantee beach time. Special rates for lessons available for Beach House Hotel guests only. All charges will be billed to individual room accounts and the lessons are on the beach directly in front of the Beach House.

Stay & Savor Package - enjoy the beach, relax on a private guest room balcony or patio with a complimentary bottle of wine, and then visit Hermosa Beach's Union Cattle Co. steakhouse with outdoor patios, relaxing bar, several dining rooms and even a mechanical bull to ride. Rates begin at $364/ night for weekdays and $404/night for weekends and include a $75 credit toward dinner at The Union Cattle Co. and two complimentary glasses of wine upon arrival at the restaurant. And, it's an easy walk from the Beach House and you can forget the car for the night.

Oomm...
What luxurious beach getaway is complete without a little pampering? Take your pick from two sixty-minute treatments during a stay and receive a $45 discount from standard prices. Choose from the Be Well Massage with complimentary aromatherapy oils, the classic Be Well Facial, or the Men's Facial, which includes a massage. Go ahead…relax.
