Hyatt Centric The Pike Long Beach  

In the heart of downtown Long Beach, this boutique hotel sits steps from the Aquarium of the Pacific and the Pike Outlets. It’s a short walk to Pine Street, minutes from the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center, and a stone’s throw from the Pacific surf.

Refreshingly modern interiors blend local-inspired design with understated elegance. Rooms feature pillowtop beds with Egyptian cotton or Italian matelasse coverlets, flat-panel TVs, MP3/iPod docking stations, minibars and laptop safes—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and simple luxury.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet, a tour desk, laundry/dry cleaning, accessible elevator access, self parking (fees may apply) and a pet-friendly policy round out the practical perks.

A business center, 1,700 sq ft of flexible meeting and event space, complimentary high-speed wired internet and express check-out make it easy to work and host events.

The hotel restaurant serves breakfast and dinner, there’s a casual coffee shop/café for daytime fuel, and a bar/lounge plus poolside service for evening drinks.
