Last week I visited Hotel Maya in Long Beach for the first time and boy did this hotel take my breath away! I just fell in love with everything about this hotel. I’ve been a huge fan of boutique hotels since I was in design school. I even designed a boutique hotel for my thesis project. I am always looking for boutique hotels to stay at whenever I travel. I am so glad there is finally one close to my house!
I really love the vibrant colors and all the textures in the space. The mix of modern and organic elements is just perfect! I can really live there! One of my favorite parts of the hotel is the courtyard area. I can just imagine people getting married there with the port of Long Beach as their backdrop. My ultimate favorite would have to be the restaurant inside Hotel Maya. Fuego was definitely designed with the view of the water in mind. When you are sitting in the dining area you can’t tell if you are sitting inside or outside the restaurant. One of my favorite parts of the restaurant is the bar area right at the edge of the restaurants. You can enjoy a drink looking out at the water. The bar was designed with glass front so the view is not interrupted at all. Love it! I think Hotel Maya designed their space without overlooking any details. I love every bit of it!
Hotel Maya definitely inspires me to work even harder toward my dream of designing a boutique hotel.
I only took a couple pictures so I encourage everyone to check out Hotel Maya in person. I will probably be back next week to have lunch there or something 
Enjoy!
