The Casa Surf Project is a brilliant idea. Ten premier interior designers collaborated with 10 surf industry leaders to put their spin on the creating the ultimate “surf suite” at the historic 1927 era Hotel La Casa del Camino in Laguna Beach.
We give props to all involved who worked tirelessly to remodel these extraordinary rooms in record time. And you can see for yourself the creative energies that went to into each room at the open house launch party from 6 to 4 p.m. Wednesday. Enjoy complimentary wine and appetizers, as well as a chance to win a free night stay. And on Thursday, each room will be available to rent, prices range from $269 weekdays, to $369 Fridays and Saturday. Surf and lifestyle brands sponsored rooms include Etnies, Rip Curl, Roxy, Quiksilver, Glaceau, Billabong Men’s, Billabong Women’s, Lost International, L*Space Swim and Riviera magazine.
Each surf company chose a charity to benefit from their room for a year. A percentage of the room rate will go to designated nonprofits.
The landmark boutique hotel combines 1920’s character with modern amenities. And it’s ideally located just steps from the beach, shops, and art galleries. Enjoy incredible ocean views, a favorite rooftop garden, free parking, complimentary fitness center, four-star dining, and much more.
And Casa Del Camino is a pet friendly hotel! Call for details. 1289 S Coast Hwy, in Laguna Beach. 888.367.5232.
