Pacifica Hotel Company Announces Fall Debut of Jamaica Bay Inn in Marina del Rey -- Complete Renovation with Elegant Tropical Design at 111-Room Beachside Property

    NOVATO, CA, May 18, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Pacifica Hotel Company announced that this fall, the Jamaica Bay Inn is scheduled to reopen with a design that resembles the colorful and relaxed style of a West Indies resort, complete with lush flora, beautiful beachside pool and marina views. Owned and managed by Pacifica Hotel Company since 1995, the former 42-room property is being completely rebuilt into an elegant tropical retreat on the azure waters of Marina del Rey with 111 guest rooms, meeting and event space, and full-service restaurant. Jamaica Bay Inn will begin taking reservations in late summer 2010 on www.jamaicabay-inn.com or call 310-823-5333, toll free 888-823-5333.

"The hotel will be a fresh, fun lodging choice in Marina del Rey," says Pacifica Hotel Company's Regional Director Frederick Adriance. "From the tropical gardens and magical path to the beach to the impressive lobby and guest rooms, we've created something really special for our guests to enjoy."

Within their first few steps, the vibrant decor and energy of the lobby will transport guests' minds and moods to a faraway Caribbean resort. Rich island-inspired fixtures perfectly complement the colorful walls. A stone fireplace will be the focal point and create a relaxed and warm atmosphere for guests to gather and enjoy the ambiance.

Each guest room will be a private, peaceful oasis with an understated yet elegant island-inspired decor. By making use of tropical textures like rattan, rich woods and leather, the design captures the essence of sophisticated island living. Upgraded amenities include high-speed wireless Internet, luxuriously comfortable bedding and granite countertops. Each room will feature its own private balcony and provide city views on one side and views of the beach, marina, pool and gardens on the other.

The outdoor patio and pool area will showcase the premiere waterfront location. Lush tropical landscaping will overlook the pool and ocean. Guests can walk along Marina Beach via a meandering garden path, and enjoy the stunning green space along the way.

Meeting and Event Space

The Jamaica Bay Inn will be a high demand location for small meetings, social events and business gatherings with three distinct spaces for groups. With a breathtaking view of the marina, it is a picture perfect site to blend productivity and relaxation in a convenient location that will have attendees feeling as if they are "getting away." Located just off the lobby and restaurant, The Antigua Room's 933-square-feet can accommodate 75 people for a cocktail reception and 50 in a classroom setting. With both views and access to the terrace garden and the marina, the room is comfortable and impressive. The Barbados Board Room will have state-of-the-art flat panel audio/visual capabilities, executive leather chairs, and dark wood conference table. A spacious manicured event lawn welcomes small parties and weddings with a breathtaking beach backdrop.

Vu Restaurant and Bar
The 150-seat indoor-outdoor restaurant and bar, aptly named Vu ("view"), boasts large windows which seamlessly bring the beach, garden and marina inside. Easily accessed from the lobby or its separate entrance on Palawan Way, the restaurant is open all day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The trellis-covered outdoor dining area features cozy fire pits overlooking the beach and garden, making it an excellent place to enjoy food and drinks in the ocean air.

Focusing on fresh flavorful California-grown ingredients, the menu at Vu will include fun feature dishes like Bananas Foster French Toast and Lobster Sliders. Vu will have garden inspired soups, healthy salads, locally caught seafood, grilled cuts of meat, earthy and innovative side dishes, as well as incredible desserts. Patrons of the bar at Vu can experience an amazing variety of California Vineyards through distinctive wine flights.
