Inside The Hotel Maya, The Hotel With the Bright Yellow Chairs

Where: 700 Queensway Drive [map], Long Beach, CA, United States, 90802

Well yesterday's Guess The Hotel wasn't too hard for you people as indeed the hotel with the bright yellow chairs is the Hotel Maya in Long Beach, Calif.

We hit up the hotel on Sunday during the first day of brunch service by the hotel's indoor/outdoor resetaurant, Fuego, which serves coastal Mexican cuisine. The views, especially on clear sunny day, are awesome.

You can see the docked Queen Mary cruise ship off to the right as well as any other cruise ships docking in Long Beach for the night. You can see downtown Long Beach across the bay, including the city's aquarium and right in front of you are sailboats galore. Even the city's Aquabus makes a stop here. If you're really lucky, you might spot a seal or two.

Hotel Maya Long Beach Still On Track For July

Where: 700 Queensway Dr. [map], Long Beach, CA, United States, 90802

Though sounding more like a luxury lodge in the wilds of the Yucatan Peninsula, the Hotel Maya is planning to open in Long Beach early in July after a $20 million renovation by Joie de Vivre Group.

The property now sports 197 ocean- and garden-view rooms with private balconies, designed as a “fusion of Latin American beachside resort and modern Southern California style.” That means airy guest rooms decorated in creamy and earth tones, with a few splashes of color on the walls and pillows.

The new hotel will also house a seafood bistro called Fuego, a fitness center, and a business and events center right on the waterfront. For your leisure time, there is a heated lap pool and Jacuzzi, and a water canal where you will find floating cabanas to while away your time.

Snag a $149 All-Inclusive Re-Opening Rate at JDV's Hotel Maya

Where: 700 Queensway Dr [map], Long Beach, CA, United States, 90802

The Hotel Maya, a JDV Hotel in Long Beach, is set to re-open after a massive $20 million renovation this summer (the date of the big unveiling is supposed to be July 1st, and the website still says work will be completed on June 30th — so we think this will happen on time) with totally revamped rooms and a new restaurant, Fuego at Hotel Maya.

While standard rates at the South-Waterfront-district-located hotel will run you $159-$249 most of the time, they're celebrating their big re-opening with a special totally all-inclusive opening rate. Booking the "Mayan Journey" Package — available July 15th through the end of the year — for $149 per person gets you a room, breakfast, a three-course dinner at Fuego, some Mexicali Chocolate at check-in, a Sangria tasting every day at 5 p.m. (ooooh), water taxi transportation and free parking.
