The Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort & Club combines Southern California’s laid-back luxury with elegant service. This AAA Five-Diamond retreat perched on 175 acres atop a 150-foot seaside bluff features a private beach club, oceanfront dining, and coastal activities and adventures. Refreshed in a soft neutral color palette the property’s 33 North Bar Lobby Lounge offers a sophisticated, coastal-inspired atmosphere, complete with a cozy fireplace, plush furnishings and outdoor terrace, perfect for relaxing and socializing. To achieve a coastal-inspired “living room” vibe, Principal Rachel Fischbach and Senior Designer/Associate Melissa Bell of DLR Group | Braytonhughes collaborated with our team to design a series of hand-tufted rugs that enhanced the sophisticated ambiance while preserving the timeless charm of the predominant soft, neutral color palette.
