Hotel Maya
The Queensway area of Long Beach is easily one of the most forgotten-about escapes within the city—and the boutique Hotel Maya embodies the escapism of this span of beach with simply gorgeous vistas of our cityscape, a Latin American restaurant that serves one of the best margaritas in town, the Queen Mary within walking distance, and a pool that is always kept at the perfect temperature. They even imported 285 tons of sand to create their own beach with fire pits and day beds. Go. Escape. And be back at home in 10 minutes.
Hotel Maya is located at 700 Queensway Bay, hotelmayalongbeach.com
