Hard Rock International in partnership with Steinhauer Properties announced development plans to open the Hard Rock Hotel Long Beach, the first new-build full-service hotel built in Long Beach, California in 30 years and the first new Hard Rock Hotel property in Southern California in almost a decade. Set to begin construction in Summer 2024 with plans to open in Spring 2027, this upscale property will be located in the heart of downtown Long Beach, adjacent to the convention center.
“We’re grateful to Mayor Rex Richardson, the City Council and our partners for welcoming Hard Rock’s unique brand of hospitality and entertainment to the City of Long Beach,” said Jon Lucas, chief operating officer for Hard Rock International. “We are really excited about expanding our award-winning hotel portfolio on the West Coast.”
The new Hard Rock Hotel Long Beach is set to stand at 31 stories and feature approximately 427 rooms and suites, including a Rock Star Suite, along with what will be the tallest open rooftop bar on the Southern California Coast featuring 360-degree views. Amenities will include an outdoor swimming pool with an amenities deck offering sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, a Body Rock Fitness Studio, two on-site restaurant options and a Rock Shop, featuring Hard Rock merchandise and other unique items. The new property will also feature a unique “speakeasy” with an intimate concert hall offering seating for approximately 250 patrons.
“With the Hard Rock brand consistently elevating and expanding its upscale entertainment offerings, we’re thrilled to be a part of this amazing venture in Long Beach,” said Greg Steinhauer, president of Steinhauer Properties. “We’re proud to have the opportunity to create a unique and dynamic asset in this beautiful coastal city that reflects the incredible energy of this diverse community that is sure to attract visitors from around the world.”
Opening is expected in spring 2027.
