Sea Sprite Beach Club

Sea Sprite Beach Club at a Glance

Sea Sprite Beach Club is a boutique beachfront hotel at 1016 The Strand in Hermosa Beach, California — the city's first hotel, standing directly on the sand two blocks from the Hermosa Beach Pier. Rooms and suites are spread across the Main Hotel Building, the Beach Flats Building, and a standalone Beach House Suite, ranging from a 170 sq. ft. studio to a 1,370 sq. ft. three-bedroom suite sleeping eight. The property has its own all-day restaurant and bar, Surfer Girl, a beachfront sundeck with fire pits, and an open-air rooftop lounge, and sits 6.5 miles from LAX.

Where History Meets California Coast

Where History Meets California Coast

Hermosa Beach's original beachfront hotel has anchored The Strand for decades, welcoming generations of travelers to a stretch of sand that doubles as the property's backyard. The renovation blended the property's 1960s heritage with contemporary coastal luxury — warm woods, soothing color palettes, and natural stone throughout. Guests step straight from their rooms onto The Strand's 22-mile oceanfront path, with Pier Plaza's dining, shopping, and entertainment two blocks away.

Rooms and Suites Across Two Buildings

Rooms and Suites Across Two Buildings

Accommodations span the Main Hotel Building and the Beach Flats Building, from intimate studios to expansive oceanfront suites. The Oceanfront King with Juliette Balcony has been a favored choice since the 1960s, offering unobstructed ocean views through two sets of Juliette balconies, heated bathroom tile floors, a double vanity, and a kitchenette. Larger layouts include the 630 sq. ft. Beachlevel Double Queen Suite and the 1,370 sq. ft. Beach House Suite, a three-bedroom ground-level residence with a full kitchen, private porch, and dining for six. Most rooms include a kitchenette with countertop sink, microwave, coffee maker, and minifridge, and premium 300-thread-count linens are standard.
