COVER STORY: Pacific Edge Hotel featured in OC Register

Pacific Edge Hotel took the lead in a featured cover story by the OC Register, on newsstands TODAY, titled: Beach butler? Surfing safari? Shoreside hotels in O.C. get creative with their offerings.

The beachfront Bungalows definitely set the Pacific Edge Hotel apart from any Orange County or Southern CA hotel on the coast. As the article quotes, "Pacific Edge General Manager Thomas Lee said the hotel needed meeting space, so managers had to think creatively about how to offer something that would set it apart from other hotels."

"A lot of hotels have beach access, but they're not right on the beach like us," he said. "Having that, it's a very unique advantage for us."

It was a perfect coincidence that the OC Register stopped by to photograph the hotel on the same day Miriam Gin of Simply X Classic hosted her blogger luncheon in the Gorjana and Griffin Bungalow. Along with fellow fashion and lifestyle bloggers, Kathleen Barnes of Carrie Bradshaw Lied, Lydia Webb of Jetting Jewels and Niki Mencon of My Style Diaries, the ladies' social gathering played a major part of this featured piece. 

We can all certainly agree that a meeting in the Bungalows makes a work day, a GREAT day at Pacific Edge Hotel. Bungalows are available for meetings, social events or just a day for family or friends to hang on the beach with their very own private space to make their stay a VIP experience.

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.

Carrie Bradshaw Lied Takes a "Staycation"

Carrie Bradshaw may be a household name but life and style blogger Kathleen Barnes from Carrie Bradshaw Lied takes a more realistic approach to living the good life!

Kathleen and her husband Christian escaped to the Pacific Edge Hotel for what we locals love to call a STAYCATION!

"Usually when we travel...we spend so much time researching the area - from extracurricular activities to restaurants, beaches, hikes and so on. With a STAYCATION, you don't have to worry about any of that - you know the area, and instead get to see your town as an outsider. Honestly - it's so much fun!" 

During their stay, Kathleen loved sleeping to the sound of the waves crashing, as she describes is "what dreams are made of." Her hubby especially enjoyed taking in the surf only a few steps away every morning and collectively dining at the Driftwood Kitchen (which has recently been nominated as "Best Restaurant of the Year" by the Laguna Beach Chamber of Commerce.) 

"The hotel embodies the California vibe, blending surf and beach cottage...the whole weekend has me thinking I need a little condo on the beach. Dreamy!" 

And while we think Kathleen's photos from her stay are "dreamy" -- we can all agree that Pacific Edge Hotel is the perfect spot to getaway from your everyday life and enjoy a "staycation" at the beach!
