Overview

This historic Art Deco building was originally built as a boutique hotel and has been updated for modern use. The property offers eleven 2–3 bedroom suites, with nine located upstairs and two on the lower level, plus five private offices. A large common area and kitchen support shared daily operations, and an outdoor patio provides an additional gathering space. Interior corridors connect the suites and offices, creating a practical flow for multiple configurations, including hospitality-style operations, creative workspaces, or live/work arrangements.

Located at 1316 S Coast Hwy, the building sits about one block from Cress Beach along Laguna Beach’s Coast Highway. The setting places the property within a short distance of the area’s dining, art galleries, and resort destinations, with direct visibility along the highway.

For buyers seeking a distinctive coastal asset, the suite-and-office mix can support a range of adaptive reuse concepts while preserving the building’s character. The property is designated under the Mills Act, which the listing states provides substantial property tax savings, offering an added factor for long-term ownership considerations.
