Why We Like This Place
Southern California’s upscale coastal community of Manhattan Beach is cool… cool, as in trendy and hip, as in designer sunglasses, fashionable bistros, and miles of roller blade trails… cool, as in refreshing ocean breezes, bodysurfing, and the provocative fragrance of seashells… cool, as in the Manhattan Beach Marriott.
The interior of this contemporary resort hotel seems inspired by a modern sandcastle, like those found along the nearby shore. Crafted in marble and stone, the magnificent lobby boasts sleek columns and mottled marble floors that glisten in the diffused light from lofty windows and skylights. Tropical floral displays, exotic accents, and furnishings in lively hues add flashes of color to the polished space.
In the middle of the lobby, twin marble staircases descend, merging at a landing in front of a rock garden with abstract glass rods depicting the reeds along the ocean. From here the stairways continue downward until they reach the Garden Terrace Foyer and the adjoining outdoor Garden Terrace where wedding ceremonies are held.
At the center of the cobbled Garden Terrace, a rectangular water feature flows out into a small lake below, and the wedding arch frames the couple against a picturesque backdrop. The hotel overlooks the Manhattan Beach Marriott golf course, so from the expansive terrace everyone is treated to the fairways’ verdant panorama. Out on the greens, a pond with a petite footbridge and quaint grotto attracts the area’s wildlife. This fresh, serene atmosphere feels more like an exclusive country club than a hotel—just one of the reasons weddings are so popular here.
For the reception, choose from several event spaces, each with its own distinctive attractions. The Terrace Ballroom and Foyer are right on the Garden Level, and windows look out to the terrace or the turquoise pool. “Casual Resort” is the theme of the Manhattan Ballroom. Plantation ferns brighten the corners, and plush carpeting in tropical colors adorns both the Ballroom and the adjacent Prefunction Area. This is a terrific space for the cocktail hour, with a row of floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the Garden Terrace and golf course. For an intimate and utterly private affair, consider reserving the Parkview. Its foyer features greenery overflowing from long planters, and picture windows that showcase the rolling fairways. The room has hand-blown Murano glass chandeliers, attractive artwork, and a crisp, uncluttered look.
The Marriott’s wedding planners have put together comprehensive packages that even include a made-to-order cake and those (usually hidden) tax and service charges. Ah, lucky you—starting at $120 per person, you can have a fabulous experience here, complete with all the amenities and exceptional service. And Manhattan Beach Marriott’s Very Cool Ambiance? Well, it’s on the house.
