Inn at Laguna finishes renovation

-- Mary A. Castillo

The Inn at Laguna has recently completed an extensive, $2-million

renovation that began in October 2001.

The work began after Classic Hotels purchased the Inn at Laguna Beach

last summer. The $2-million project included upgrades to the guest rooms,

the main lobby and foyer; landscaping; and redesign of the exterior of

the 70-room oceanfront hotel.

“The scope of the renovations is extensive,” said Michael Crow,

president of Classic Hotels and Resorts. “The beachfront location has

attracted extremely satisfied guests over the past several years. We now

provide our quests the casual elegance and amenities they expect.”

Last year the Inn at Laguna Beach, which is at 211 North Coast

Highway, attracted nearly 40,000 guests from all over the world.
