Hotel Maya<\/a>, a waterfront property in Long Beach, will undergo a $10.5 million renovation and rebrand as The Maya in June 2026. The project will include a comprehensive redesign of all guest rooms, a revamped arrival experience, updated public spaces, and a new direction for the hotel\u2019s lounge and bar, Fuego, introducing a new dining concept. The hotel will also implement new guest programming and partnerships intended to engage both guests and local residents.<\/p>\nThe renovation will mark the hotel\u2019s 50th anniversary and its transition to independent operation. The project includes the redesign of 191 guest rooms and suites, led by Long Beach-based Dyelot Interiors. The updated rooms will feature light, neutral palettes, wood furnishings, and updated bathrooms with tilework, walk-in showers, and touch-technology mirrors. The renovation will add eight new one-bedroom suites, increasing the total suite count to 10, including the Presidential Suite and Loft Suite.<\/p>\n
Public spaces will be re-envisioned to improve flow and connection, with changes to the lobby and Fuego lounge. The lobby will feature expanded retail offerings and open seating. Fuego will introduce a beverage-focused lounge atmosphere with new furnishings, firepit elements, and a relocated entrance. The lounge will offer shareable plates, elevated cocktails, a morning coffee-and-pastry program with local partners Sheldrake Coffee Roasting and Colossus Bakery, and a weekend brunch.<\/p>\n
The hotel will launch new social programming and partnerships, including live music experiences, cinematic dining events, wellness programming with The DEN Meditation, and seasonal poolside activations featuring rotating lifestyle brands.<\/p>\n
Originally opened in 1975 as the Queensbay Hilton, the property has undergone previous renovations, including a $20 million project in 2009 and a $4 million refresh in 2015. The current renovation is scheduled for completion in June 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Brief: Hotel Maya in Long Beach will relaunch as The Maya in June 2026 following a $10.5…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":280055,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[131,133,132],"class_list":["post-280054","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280054","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=280054"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280054\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/280055"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280054"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=280054"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=280054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
