Hotel Joaquin Opens in North Laguna Beach, California - inspiration from the beaches of St. Barth’s
while paying homage to classic Southern California with an elegant, laid-back aesthetic. Designed by Robert McKinley of Montauk's The Surf Lodge and SoHo food staple Sant Ambroeus, the oceanfront property is just the place for an idyllic weekend escape. Vinyl record players replace television sets, and a private beach paired with access to the Adventure Garage—home to surfboards, hiking and diving gear, beach toys, and more—encourages guests to unplug during their time in Laguna Beach. The designer much of the decor abroad through large buys in France, in both Normandy and Paris in the flea markets and got great artwork, sculptures, lighting, and some great furniture. While guests might find it hard to leave the idyllic, light-filled rooms (complete with Le Labo products, snacks curated by Farm to People, and luxurious linens by Anichini), the hotel's lobby and restaurant, Saline, is sure to become a town hotspot.
Laguna Beach is Southern California’s premier coastal destination located midway between Los Angeles and San Diego and along the southern coast of Orange County. Known as home to hundreds of local artists, and set amid 20,000 acres of wilderness, Laguna Beach is primarily served by John Wayne Airport Orange County (SNA) located just 20 minutes away.

Ramses II is the main subject of the exhibition. The artefacts and objects on display illustrate the key features of his reign, known as the Ramesside period. But they also speak of empire and Egypt’s relations with a rival empire:
the Hittites, a fierce enemy that subsequently became a close ally following the treaty signed in Year 21. The exhibits also touch on Ramses’s family, ancestors (including his grandfather Ramses I and his father Seti I) and successors together with his incomparable monumental building policy and the legacy he left behind.

The art of living is a journey - Hotel El Castillo ****
An exceptional boutique hotel surrounded by the emblematic urban wall of the beautiful city of Marbella, in the sumptuous region of "Costa del sol" - Andalusia, Spain -
&
La Ciudadela Marbella
A place much appreciated by the most refined clients and their demands for comfort. The soft dominant colors promote the impression of harmony with the nature around the city, as well as the furniture custom-made by local artisans, whose emblematic pieces will not leave you indifferent. The spacious suites cultivate a chic spirit. Everything has been designed to ensure that tradition is respected without compromising originality. Here, life is mostly lived outdoors and, on the sea, in a local atmosphere. The proximity of the Mediterranean allows you to walk or cycle to the beaches. Don't miss the opportunity to book a trip on a yacht and enjoy a lunch on the open sea, an exceptional moment off the beautiful Spanish coast.
An inspired chef
Restaurants that will soon join the "greatest"!
Two beautiful addresses that pay tribute to local traditions, while at the same time winking at the modernity of Iberia. Guests can enjoy a home-cooked meal worthy of "haute gastronomy" and discover the refined menus. Great wines to accompany this exceptional moment.
Thaissence & AFuego has a muffled atmosphere, elegant and contemporary, with soft tones and careful decoration.
An address already renowned for its rooftop
Our favorite is the rooftop bar, with its calm and its view of the roofs of Marbella. A real design bar that seduces both locals and hotel guests. An impeccable service with a selection of "made to measure" cocktails carefully prepared with fresh products. Give in to temptation and enjoy the mild Mediterranean weather all year round.
An Ode to Elegance and Sobriety
In the heart of the Plaza de San Bernabé, nestles a remarkable place, recently opened. A new line of products, incomparable comfort, elegant finishing... The new hotel - El Castillo - in the heart of medieval Marbella, full of history, has been inspired by the graceful and pleasant universe of luxury hotels to design a chic and unique place in beautiful Andalusia.
A stay at this upscale hotel is a fantastic experience where comfort rhymes with exceptional hospitality. There are places where you can feel the effort of a team that is constantly concerned with the well-being of its guests. A feeling that is omnipresent in this hotel, which has charmed us on a daily basis.
Also in Marbella, don't hesitate to visit the other three hotels in the
LA CIUDADELA MARBELLA HOTELS group
- Maison Ardois Hotel
- Santo Cristo Hotel
- El Castillo Hotel
There are very few beautiful addresses that make you feel that every guest is welcomed as a member of a family.

Some Like It Hot !
Filmed at Hotel del Coronado (California) in 1958, "Some Like It Hot" showcased the talents of Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon while also highlighting the hotel’s assets – a spectacular sun-drenched silhouette of Victorian architecture, the perfect backdrop for the film’s 1929 setting. Named the #1 comedy of all time by the American Film Institute, the movie has an honored place in film and Del history. Although only exterior scenes were filmed at the hotel, the interior scenes do look very Del-like (right down to the placement of the lobby elevator and stairs). This probably explains why so many "Some Like It Hot" devotees – even after seeing Hotel del Coronado for themselves – absolutely refuse to believe that the movie’s interior scenes were not filmed at The Del.
