Adults-only boutique hotel in Laguna Beach with heated pool, record players, and complimentary breakfast

Amenities & Services

Hotel Joaquin is an adults-only property (18+) with a heated outdoor swimming pool open year-round. The on-site Saline Restaurant serves Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, and the bar offers a welcome cocktail upon arrival plus exclusive cocktail offerings. Each morning, guests receive a thermos of coffee delivered to their room and can enjoy a complimentary breakfast with options like rawnola, French toast, or eggs and bacon.

Rooms & Design

Each of the 22 rooms at Hotel Joaquin features a vinyl record player and a curated selection of records in lieu of televisions. Room layouts vary by name-La Lune offers a top-floor corner with no one above, while Soleil provides privacy and ocean views. The decor is retro-cool, with earthy touches and thoughtful details such as beach bags and books, though some rooms face busy PCH and noise is noted by guests.

Location & Beaches

The hotel sits three blocks from the ocean, a two-minute walk to Shaw's Cove, a sheltered beach popular for snorkeling. Heisler Park and the Laguna Art Museum are within walking distance, and the free Laguna Beach trolley stops nearby for access to Main Beach and Sawdust Festival. Guests can borrow beach gear and bicycles from the Adventure Outpost on the property.

Dining & Food Service

Saline Restaurant & Bar is open daily to hotel guests only, offering Mediterranean dishes for breakfast (complimentary) and light lunch options poolside. The welcome cocktail is served at check-in, and the bar features a curated cocktail list including the signature drink called The Greeter. Breakfast changes daily and includes fresh, healthy items-raw granola, eggs, bacon, and kale-but no dinner service is currently offered on-site.

Entertainment & Activities

The hotel organizes movie nights on the lawn and provides board games in the living room, all without televisions to encourage a disconnected vibe. A vinyl library with hundreds of records is available for borrowing, and yoga classes are occasionally held on the lawn. The heated saltwater pool and large sun loungers are central to the property, with plenty of space and no fighting for chairs.
