Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, in partnership with Long Beach-based investment and development group Pacific6, has announced the redevelopment of The Breakers hotel in Long Beach, California. Originally opened in the "Roaring Twenties," The Breakers has been a sought-after destination for celebrities and dignitaries, including Elizabeth Taylor, Cary Grant, Babe Ruth and Clark Gable, among other Hollywood stars. The historic property is currently undergoing a significant restoration and redevelopment, and is slated to reopen in 2023 as Long Beach’s first luxury boutique hotel.
The refreshed Fairmont The Breakers, Long Beach will offer high-end accommodations and amenities, including 185 boutique hotel rooms and suites; a rooftop pool and terrace overlooking the Terrace Theater Plaza; an open-air rooftop lounge and bar with views of the Pacific Ocean and Los Angeles basin; a two-story spa, wellness and fitness center; a live jazz club and music lounge; and more than 12,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor meeting and function space. The hotel’s culinary program will include five food and beverage venues, including the reopening of the famed Sky Room restaurant.
The hotel is located on Ocean Boulevard in the city of Long Beach, which serves as a major destination for tourism and other leisure travel; it is also a hub for regional commercial activity. The area is known for its waterfront attractions, such as the RMS Queen Mary and the Aquarium of the Pacific, and has such cultural charms as Restaurant Row on Pine Avenue and the East Village Arts District. The hotel is adjacent to the Long Beach Convention Center and is a short walk from the Metro Blue Line station, which connects downtown Long Beach to downtown Los Angeles via rail.
The property’s renovation will be a major economic benefit to Long Beach, providing employment opportunities to more than 1,500 during the redevelopment, and more than 230 hospitality jobs upon reopening.
Fairmont is part of Accor, the second largest operator of luxury hotels in the world. Additional luxury brands in the Accor portfolio include Raffles, Orient Express, Sofitel, and many more. Upon its opening, Fairmont The Breakers, Long Beach will join ALL - Accor Live Limitless, Accor’s lifestyle loyalty program.
