GIRL'S DAY IN THE GORJANA & GRIFFIN BUNGALOW

Fashion and lifestyle blogger, Miriam Gim, from Simply X Classic, invited her fellow girlfriend bloggers for a day at our stylish Gorjana & Griffin Bungalow at Pacific Edge Hotel. We were thrilled to host these chic ladies for an afternoon, being that two have been to Pacific Edge Hotel before and covered the properly so fabulously. You may recall reading Carrie Bradshaw Lied blog post about her "Staycation in Laguna Beach" as well as My Style Diaries visit to PEH, but this time the girls were "Playing Hooky" (as My Style Diaries so perfectly puts it) for their lunch date & daycation on the beach together, joined by Jetting Jewels. 

The Gorjana & Griffin Bungalow was the best spot for these fashion bloggers to sip on champagne, nosh on delicious nibbly bites from The Deck and make their many costume changes for photoshoots with the gorgeous coast as their backdrop!

You can count on fashion bloggers to take stunning photos onsite. Thanks to Miriam, Kathleen, Nikki and Lydia for their stylish stay at PEH! 

And a special thanks to Miriam's little girl for stealing the show in all of her Beach Bungalow cuteness.

The Deck & Driftwood Kitchen OC's BEST OceanView Restaurants

Locale Magazine just named both Pacific Edge Hotel's in-house dining experiences as two of OC's BEST 180 Degree + Ocean View Restaurants. 

We love being home to The Deck and Driftwood Kitchen and can see why Locale gave us such great recognition - you just can't get any closer to the coast! While The Deck connects directly to our Bungalows with an open-air vibe, Driftwood Kitchen sits right above the beach with panoramic views of the Pac Coast. 

Locale Magazine states...."The Deck specializes in seafood inspired by the restaurant’s beachfront location. Menu items include freshly caught oysters on the half shell, pan-seared Alaskan halibut and jumbo Maine scallops. All of this can be enjoyed from their beach-facing outdoor dining area with stunning views of the Pacific. Have all the fun of dining on the beach without the hassle of getting sand in your food. Feeling a little cold outside? Don’t worry, as ample heat lamps and umbrellas will keep you enjoying the great outdoors."

Driftwood Kitchen's Executive Chef Rainer Schwartz has recently launched a new spring menu, as seen in OC Foodies Magazine, which includes vibrant seasonal ingredients including squash blossoms, heirloom tomatoes, cauliflower, Yukon gold potatoes, green & red papaya yellow corn, spring peas and morel mushrooms. Dishes you must try: Grilled Colossal Tiger Prawns & Dates, Summer Squash Blossoms and Whole Santa Barbara "Sea Stephanie Fish Uni"
