California lodge updates guestrooms, public spaces

Half Moon Bay Lodge, an 80-room hotel situated along the Northern California coast, has completed a refresh this spring, with updates to the hotel’s guestrooms, outdoor public spaces and 5,000 square feet of meeting and events venues. The new look is present in each guestroom, some equipped with wood burning fireplaces. 

Half Moon Bay Lodge, purchased by the Melville family in 2020, is managed by Pacifica Hotels, the largest owner and operator of independent, design-inspired hotels on the Pacific Coast.

Half Moon Bay Lodge is located 28 miles south of San Francisco. The property has completed a variety of updates, including refurbishing the 80 guestrooms with new bedding, furniture and TVs. These accommodations now incorporate more natural textures and colors including ocean-inspired blues and earthy browns, while still embracing its lodge-like feel. 

Curate Art Group, a San Francisco-based boutique and luxury hospitality art consultancy, curated the photography collection, which provides a sense of space throughout the property. Images are inspired by coastal destinations and Half Moon Bay. The hotel’s meeting and events spaces got new seating and tables, updated lighting and curated art installations. The outdoor space, called The Backyard, will now have outdoor fire pits, additional seating and more wedding and event spaces.

“We are excited to give Half Moon Bay Lodge a new and improved look," owner Susan Melville said in a statement. "The newly refreshed property draws inspiration from natural textures and colors as well as the northern coastal lifestyle, artisanal elements and found treasures.”
