A vacation should be a complete experience, so why stay at an ordinary hotel or motel? Boutique hotels and bed and breakfasts provide all the convenience and amenities of larger chain lodgings, but these unique properties add something special to the mix. Whether you choose a funky, eclectic lodging in the heart of the city or a romantic coastal retreat, a stay at a boutique hotel is sure to be one of the best memories of your next West Coast trip.
For those searching for a Los Angeles bed and breakfast, there are plenty of unique options. Spend a few days overlooking a small local harbor or enjoy a stay near the big city in a historic boutique inn located in a quirky seaside town. Take a drive inland and you’ll discover a historic village filled with charm and a swanky boutique hotel to boot.
For a Southern California boutique experience, try the Blue Lantern Inn. Nestled atop a bluff overlooking the Dana Point Harbor, the inn is all about location, location, location. This boutique hotel/bed and breakfast is midway between Los Angeles and San Diego. Famous local hot spots such as Doheny Beach and Laguna Beach are just a few minutes away. Better yet, many of the rooms offer views of the harbor and coastline. All of the guest rooms include both a fireplace and jetted spa tub. Guests enjoy both a full breakfast service, as well as afternoon wine and hors d’oeuvres.
When it comes to Los Angeles bed and breakfasts, The Channel Road Inn in Santa Monica, is hard to beat.

The innkeepers will loan DVDs and books, as well as offering concierge service and recommendations for local attractions and restaurants. The inn is just a few, short blocks to the beach, and all the fun of Los Angeles is just a short drive away.
Just east of Los Angeles, you’ll find charming Claremont Village and Hotel Casa 425, a modern boutique hotel. Rooms are decorated in contemporary style, opening to the hotel’s courtyard. An outdoor living room offers plenty of places to relax, as well as fountains and fire pits. The hotel staff screens movies in this outdoor living room, so you can snuggle up and enjoy the show. The lounge and bar offers a full cocktail menu, as well as selection of fine wines. Claremont Village is loaded with historic ambiance, and plenty of shops and cafes are within walking distance of the hotel.
