Breakers Hotel (Long Beach, California)

The Fairmont Breakers Long Beach is a historic 14-story hotel located on East Ocean Avenue in downtown Long Beach, California. Originally opened in 1926 as a luxury oceanfront resort, it features a unique 'ultra Spanish' architectural style and was a prominent landmark with 330 guest rooms and a variety of amenities, including a 500-seat dining room and a rooftop garden. After years of decline and changes in ownership, including a notable period under Conrad Hilton, the hotel underwent a complete restoration and reopened in 2024, now recognized as a Long Beach Historic Landmark, making it an intriguing destination for tourists and researchers interested in the area's rich history.
