Pacific Hotel Group has opened the Pasea Hotel & Spa in Huntington Beach, California, steps from the Huntington Beach Pier and overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Part of the Meritage Collection’s portfolio of lifestyle and luxury hotels, the Pasea takes its inspiration from the vibrant artistic culture and communal spirit of the area, and features a modern, elevated form of the classic coastal vibe.

The 250-bedroom hotel includes a 5,800sq ft (539sq m) Aarna Spa, which is a Balinese-inspired wellness centre in partnership with ESPA. It includes eight treatment rooms, a boutique salon, relaxation room, fitness centre and outdoor garden.

It also includes an “I AM” menu, an in-accommodations marketplace with a wide array of items and experiences, from forgotten travel essentials to bicycle rentals, yoga classes, local brewery tours and custom surfboards.

“We are excited to add another locally-inspired property to our growing Meritage Collection,” said Kory Kramer, chief investment officer at PHG. “Pasea Hotel & Spa’s opening marks a great milestone for our company as we continue to expand in destinations appealing to both business and leisure travelers.”
