Relax along the white sand coast, or get active by rollerblading, walking, biking the many trails on the beach and around the city. Experience the wetter side of Long Beach through deep-sea fishing, a harbor cruise or sailing. Cool down with a dip in the deep blue sea, or try your hand at jet skiing, kayaking, boating, or surfing.

And a short 4 block walk from the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center.

The Varden Hotel, a Downtown Long Beach's first Boutique Hotel, has a rich and eccentric history, which makes it a true downtown Long Beach Landmark. Originally built in 1929, the 35-room Varden Hotel has been a prominent visual feature of downtown Long Beach for 60 years. After our extensive renovation, The Varden's unique design is planned to evoke the casual elegance of an upscale boutique hotel incorporating the blend of historic and contemporary details with all the modern conveniences anticipated by today's traveler.As you enter the “Historic-Chic” Varden Hotel of today, you will experience a European style boutique hotel full of history and contemporary design. Still a 35-room hotel, The Varden Hotel is also going “Green” with mini rain showers, and low-flow Toto toilets, in every room. Each hallway has 5 old airshafts, which have been transformed into natural light sources, reducing the need for additional electrical power during the day.Guest rooms all boast 9-foot ceilings, custom-made glass shelves and desks, flat screen HDTVs, complimentary high-speed wireless internet, designer lighting and furniture, and state of the art individual climate controlled heat and air conditioning.
