The Owner
Malibu Beach Inn
Owner
Since its inception in 1989, Malibu Beach Inn has become a beloved destination for both leisure and business travelers. After a complete, contemporary multi-million dollar renovation, Malibu Beach Inn, Carbon Beach re-opened its doors October 2007, as the only luxury oceanfront hotel destination between Santa Monica and Santa Barbara, offering guests unsurpassed levels of luxury and service on the sands of exclusive Carbon Beach. The hotel boasts 47 elegantly appointed guest rooms, including six one-bedroom suites, all with breathtaking ocean views and private balconies. Select guest rooms feature fireplaces and all accommodations feature natural tile showers and contemporary furnishings made from exotic wenge wood.

In Short
This spacious hotel offers 47 rooms and suites that are steps away from Carbon Beach, aka "Billionaire's Beach," where silky sand and lapping waves accompany a perfect stroll along the waterfront. The resort distinguishes itself from neighboring hotels with their hand-painted bath tiles, private balconies and quaint rooms accented with contemporary artwork by Glenn Ness. Although not all accommodations have an ocean view, little luxuries like 350 thread count sheets and around-the-clock service make up for it. Guests can hit the gym right across the street and then dine at the exclusive Carbon Beach Club restaurant downstairs. Just be warned: A stay here comes with a hefty price tag.
Hits: The recent renovations have resulted in landscaping, architecture and interiors that exude both coziness and panache. Shopaholics and foodies can also stroll less than a mile to a line of boutiques and bistros at the Malibu Country Mart.
Misses: Daily amenities like the gym and internet access are not complimentary, and there's no self parking, only valet service.

We had lunch yesterday at the new refurbished Malibu Beach Inn. What a wonderful setting. What a pathetic dining experience. We sat in the lounge area at a table for six and were presented a menu so lacking in imagination as to be worthy of a Howard Johnson circa 1983, apart from the prices. BLT, hamburger, calamari, penne, each dish duller than the next with condiments to match. Nothing on the menu came close to the waterfront setting; is that their shtick? Because you are sitting on the terrace with your toes almost in the water you should put up with 2nd rate food and 3rd rate service? Everything was late and twice there was a mix up with orders. Then one of our party was admonished harshly by the wait staff for referring to his coffee as an espresso with foam rather than by the Italian macchiato. Pretentious gits. I am so disappointed. We could have gone to the Beachcomber Café and eaten better for less, which I wish we had done. And now I am looking at the charges on my credit card and it looks as though an extra tip was added to my bill. Which I will contest. Go for drinks and the view but not for food. Actually, don't bother. Really truly rubbish.

Every time I travel to the Los Angeles area, I stay at the Malibu Beach Inn, and every time, I'm just as satisfied with the service, cleanliness and professionalism of the staff. There's always someone readily available to assist any need with regards to my stay there. I love the fact that besides the restaurant, now they also have a very nice and cozy spa with massage services and facials, etc. The location is amazing, and I like the coziness of the place!

Buyer beware. This was the most horrific travel experience of my life and I travel globally 9 weeks a year. While were at the bar, a staff member broke into our room and stole all of our credit cards and cash. There was 6 of us with adjoining rooms- so 6 purses. We were on the property so we felt a false sense of security. 3k total with credit card charges. The manager was rude and careless. When I asked to see the security tapes and if they would give us a make good he said, "No! Stay somewhere else next time." We filed a police report. Stay at Shutters, Casa Del Mar. Please don't risk your leisure to crime.
