Breakers Hotel (Long Beach, California)

The Fairmont Breakers Long Beach, a historic 14-story hotel established in 1926, is a prominent landmark in downtown Long Beach, California. Originally an oceanfront resort, it features a unique 'ultra Spanish' architectural style and was once one of Southern California's finest luxury hotels, boasting 330 guest rooms and a range of amenities including a 500-seat dining room and a rooftop garden. After years of decline and various ownership changes, including a notable period under Conrad Hilton, the hotel underwent a complete restoration and reopened in 2024, preserving its historical significance while offering modern comforts. Visitors can explore its rich history, which includes serving as a Red Cross headquarters during the 1933 earthquake and hosting Hollywood stars in its Sky Room restaurant.
