Originally designed by Hugh Gibbs in 1955. Extensively renovated by Steinberg Architects in 2015.

Construction was completed in 1965. The 9 story building is the tallest on the CSULB campus. Campus master plan and building by Killingsworth Brady and Smith. Killingsworth had a prolific career in his home town of Long Beach, California.

Designed by prominent African American architect Roy Sealey, the hotel was completed in 1963 and originally called the Edgewater Inn. As originally envisioned, each hotel room is afforded either a courtyard or ocean view. A separate building houses the public components, including the hotel office, restaurant, lounge, and meeting rooms. One of a few surviving examples of a 1960s Googie-style hotel, the buildings' distinctive features include unique Y-shaped piers supporting a diamond-patterned roofline on the main building, a folded-plate roofline on a circular office wing, decorative concrete block screens, and original diamond-patterned metal railings. Two two-story zigzag guest room wings originally housing 200 hotel rooms are arranged symmetrically to create partially enclosed courtyard spaces. -laconservancy.org
