Portofino Hotel & Yacht Club Launches New Name

Redondo Beach, Calif. (USA) – 10 June 2012 – After celebrating a grand re-opening following a multimillion dollar refreshment a few years ago as part of the Noble House Hotels & Resorts collection, The Portofino Hotel & Yacht Club officially announces its new name – now reading The Portofino Hotel & Marina. The name evolution will further establish the hotel as a leading property in the Redondo Beach area, as it remains the only truly waterfront hotel in Los Angeles.

Portofino Hotel & Marina offers guests an authentic SoCal lifestyle experience in a casual, nautical-chic environment, inviting vacationers to relax and let loose, embracing an “endless summer.” Located in the birthplace of the California beach scene, this maritime haven provides an ideal retreat of fun, sun and rejuvenation.

The 161 nautically-detailed guest rooms include private balconies perfect for viewing awe-inspiring sunsets over the Pacific Ocean. The light-filled Living Room Lounge features dramatic three-story windows embracing the tranquil waters just outside, welcoming guests with plush, oversized furnishings, chilled lemonade and crisp local apples.

Seaside dining is perfected with sun-drenched marina views by day and enchanting moonlit water vistas by night at signature freestanding restaurant, BALEEN. Executive Chef Jesse Souza prepares New American cuisine with a twist, utilizing quality local produce and seafood served in a chic, welcoming atmosphere. Resident cocktail chefs — or mixologists — prepare tantalizing concoctions from natural ingredients to sip while enjoying evening music entertainment.
