Malibu Beach Inn

The Most Romantic Hotels in the World

"Malibu Beach Inn democratizes the famously beautiful Los Angeles enclave’s “Billionaire’s Beach” with its station along the row. “Stay a night”, the inn beckons, “Enjoy the views our neighbors spent unspeakable amounts of money for.” The rooms are tidy, lots of warm-finished wood and neutral colors, but you’ll want to spend as much time as you can outside. It’s not just what you see, by the way, but the entire sensory experience—crashing waves audible from your personal balcony and from the terrace restaurant, as well as just about everywhere else, and crisp salty air lulling you into a peace that’s impossible to break. Spot wales, dig into some branzino, sip a local red, and just enjoy." - CNT Editors, Betsy Blumenthal
