The Varden-A Boutique Hotel

Long Beach is a big playground for adults and kids alike. We have the most fabulous parks, bicycle trails, waterfront and ocean activities; you'll come for a visit and want to stay for a lifetime. 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. Your Varden Hotel Host will help you plan your Long Beach adventure to suit your sense of fun, including rental arrangements for all of your sports equipment. The Varden Hotel is your home base while exploring everything Southern California has to offer. The Varden is one block walk from the Pine Avenue eateries, boutiques and clubs. 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. With Simmons Bouvet Island Plush Pillow Top mattresses set atop custom designed platform beds made exclusively for The Varden Hotel, guests will feel like they are sleeping in the clouds. Bathrooms are sleek and sophisticated with white round penny mosaic, and cultured marble subway tiles that stretch floor to ceiling. Guests will find exquisite, rounded mirrored lights over each sink, created by Designer John Kovac. 300 thread count sheets and super-plush linens will envelope you in luxury that only a boutique hotel can provide. In the morning enjoy complimentary continental breakfast. In the late afternoon and evening, enjoy the full Varden Hotel experience with a wine and cheese reception served in the lobby. The Varden Hotel will make you feel like you're home when you are served brownies, or cookies and milk, before retiring to bed. The Varden Hotel is the first European style downtown Long Beach boutique hotel, and it's an experience you won't want to miss.
