CROWNE PLAZA HOTEL LOS ANGELES HARBOR BY IHG
About the Castle Hotel
Crowne Plaza Hotel Los Angeles Harbor, San Pedro - A Harborfront Hub
For those seeking a reliable base with a commanding view of the Pacific, the Crowne Plaza Hotel Los Angeles Harbor in San Pedro has made it the classiest option on the Waterfront. It's a place that understands the rhythm of the tides and the demands of modern travel, offering a solid proposition for both leisure and business. The hotel understands its role as a gateway, providing a comfortable and functional sanctuary overlooking the maritime activity that defines this stretch of California coast.
Location
Perched with a true front-row view of the ships and festivities, this Crowne Plaza occupies a prime position on the LA Waterfront. It's a stone's throw from the Los Angeles Maritime Museum and the historic Battleship USS Iowa, offering a rich tapestry of maritime history within walking distance. For those venturing further, the hotel is conveniently located just 20 minutes from Downtown LA and close to Long Beach. The local trolley cruises right by, offering easy access to numerous dining options, from Thai to Italian to waterfront dining, as well as over 20 trendy eateries and shops just up the street. For a broader exploration, the Aquarium of the Pacific and the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center are a short distance away. Personally, I find the proximity to the working harbor, offering a glimpse into authentic maritime life, just as compelling as the more curated attractions.
Style and Character
The Crowne Plaza Los Angeles Harbor presents a functional, contemporary aesthetic designed for comfort and productivity. While not aiming for the opulence of a boutique retreat, it offers a clean and professional atmosphere. The Crowne Ballroom, with its private terrace, allows guests to enjoy the ocean breezes, and the San Pedro Ballroom, located conveniently off the main lobby, provides a sophisticated setting for events. It's a hotel that prioritizes practical elegance, ensuring a serene environment for relaxation and concentration on work.
Service and Facilities
The hotel's commitment to guest comfort is evident in its array of facilities. A large outdoor pool and hot tub on the second floor offer ample seating and pleasant views of the Harbor, making it a fine spot to unwind. For those needing to stay active, fitness facilities are available to help guests stay energized on their schedule. Recognizing the needs of cruise passengers, the hotel offers a convenient round-trip shuttle service to the Port of Los Angeles World Cruise Center in San Pedro. The hotel is particularly well-suited for social gatherings, conferences, and meetings, with a capable catering team ready to create events tailored to style, taste, and budget. Their ability to work towards a specific meeting environment is a distinct advantage for corporate guests.
Rooms
The hotel offers a range of rooms designed for relaxation and focus. While specific room categories like 'spacious double room' are mentioned, they generally feature air conditioning, private bathrooms with a bath, and flat-screen TVs. Some units are equipped with two beds, while others offer one. Room amenities can include a seating area with a sofa bed in suites, a microwave, and a refrigerator. For those on business, the rooms serve as an ideal place to concentrate on work, equipped with practical features like ironing facilities and ample space. While bed type preference cannot be guaranteed, the hotel ensures a comfortable and functional stay.
Food and Drink
The hotel's dining options are anchored by Blū Restaurant + Lounge, offering guests the chance to enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner from a deliciously eclectic menu. In the evening, the on-site lounge provides a relaxed atmosphere for a drink. Blū distinguishes itself with over 15 craft beers and an impressively eclectic wine list, ensuring something for every palate. The bartenders are known for their skill, adding to the convivial atmosphere with great music. While the menu is generally well-received, the bread served at breakfast is noted as a minor point for improvement. It's a place where you can certainly find a satisfying meal and a good drink after a day of exploring.
Value for Money
The Crowne Plaza Hotel Los Angeles Harbor offers a solid value proposition, particularly for its location and amenities. The convenience of the shuttle service to the cruise terminal, the pleasant pool area, and the versatile event spaces contribute to its appeal. While specific pricing isn't detailed, the range of facilities and its strategic position on the LA Waterfront suggest a comfortable and practical choice for travelers who prioritize access to attractions and convenient transport links, especially for those with onward cruise plans.
Accessibility
The hotel acknowledges the importance of accessibility, providing information on accessible rooms, spaces, and services available to guests. This ensures that individuals with varying needs can plan their stay with confidence, knowing that accommodations and support are in place to facilitate a comfortable and seamless experience. Details can be found by inquiring directly with the hotel.
Family-Friendly
While not explicitly detailing extensive children's programming, the Crowne Plaza Los Angeles Harbor offers elements that cater to families. Cabrillo Beach, with its playground, is nearby, providing an outdoor diversion for younger guests. The proximity to the California Science Center and the Aquarium of the Pacific makes it a practical base for family excursions, allowing for exploration of science and marine life. The inclusion of a pool and hot tub also offers a recreational outlet for all ages. The hotel serves as a functional starting point for family adventures along the coast.
