| New Terranea Resort Sprawls Over Palos Verdes With Spa, Golf, and Oceanview Meeting Space |
|
Developers of the sprawling new Mediterranean-style Terranea Resort occupied some of the last, best oceanfront real estate in Southern California, taking over 102 acres at a cost of $475 million. Opened earlier this month and operated and managed by Destination Hotels & Resorts, the property offers three heated swimming pools with a 140-foot waterslide, private cabanas, and food service; access to a bluff-top trail; a secluded beach cove; and sweeping ocean views.
The resort has 582 rooms, including a 360-room hotel with 20 bungalows. There are also 50 oceanfront casitas and 32 detached oceanview villas. The hotel also includes 32 suites, ranging from a 450-square-foot guest room with a balcony to the 1,800-square-foot presidential suite. |
