MALIBU, Calif. -February 14, 2007 - The celebrated Malibu Beach Inn will re-open in May 2007 after undergoing a multi-million dollar, head-to-toe remodel that will make it the only luxury hotel destination in Malibu.

The renovation, which began in October 2006, includes completely refinished interiors and exteriors, as well as the addition of a new dining room, expanded meeting space and a members-only beach club. While the hotel is closed, it is accepting reservations for its grand re-opening in late May. 

"The hotel will offer a true Malibu experience," says Managing Director Alan Goldschneider. "It will have a more sophisticated feel, but will also be the relaxed beach retreat our guests have come to know and love."

The new Malibu Beach Inn is designed to complement its location on the sands of Malibu's exclusive Carbon Beach by featuring clean-lined architecture and interiors, a beach-inspired color palette and natural materials. Rich woods, elegant stone, sleek glass and polished steel will be used throughout the hotel to create an organic indoor/outdoor experience that utilizes the setting's unique marine assets.

At the heart of the renovation is a new guests-only 44-seat dining room, which will feature indoor and oceanfront terrace seating, both of which boast breathtaking views and the sound of the tumbling surf below. The hotel will offer a unique food and wine experience featuring an extensive list of hand-selected small-production wines from California's premier wine regions paired with Mediterranean tapas and coastal California cuisine. 

The hotel's 47 guest rooms, including six suites, each with ocean views, balconies and fireplaces, will feature custom-made furnishings, luxurious fabrics and the latest communications and entertainment systems. In-room amenities will also include a mini-bar stocked with Dean & Deluca favorites, wine rack with hand-selected California vintages, and skin and hair care products from Molton Brown.

Plans for the hotel also feature an expanded lobby and 5,000 square feet of oceanfront meeting space with state of the art technology and full catering capabilities, as well as high-speed wireless and cable data connections throughout the hotel, making the Malibu Beach Inn a perfect destination for meetings and intimate corporate retreats. 

Upon its opening, the Malibu Beach Inn will debut its Carbon Beach Club, an exclusive limited-membership experience that offers residents and non-hotel guests access to the hotel's private beach with luxurious amenities and services.
