The Belamar Hotel, Manhattan Beach, CA
Our search for intimate California sites perfect for a luxury elopement uncovered The Belamar Hotel in Manhattan Beach. Close to the strand, the pier, and a short drive from LAX, this boutique hotel is tucked away in an unassuming residential neighborhood close to the beach action but away from the bustle of the city. Featuring a kitschy, Old Hollywood vibe, the property features record players in every room, with records available for check out at the front desk. A sundrenched courtyard with a picturesque gazebo and light stone backdrop for vow exchanges is perfection for an intimate elopement ceremony, or couples can opt to exchange vows beachside. Cozy, post-wedding celebrations for two are welcome in the Second Story Restaurant, where California-modern cuisine – including vegan options – is offered in a chic setting.
