Peregrine Hospitality is set to debut the 170-room Pacific Point Resort in Pismo Beach, California in July. The project consolidates and transforms the former Pismo Lighthouse Suites and Shore Cliff Hotel into what will become the city's largest hotel, set across 12 blufftop acres in San Luis Obispo County.

Why it matters

The opening of Pacific Point Resort is part of a broader portfolio expansion for Peregrine Hospitality, signaling the company's push to elevate the Central Coast's positioning as a premier leisure destination. The new resort aims to provide guests with a more immersive and lasting coastal experience through its design, amenities, and connection to the region's marine ecology and cultural heritage.

The details

The majority of Pacific Point Resort's guestrooms will feature ocean views, complemented by experiential touches like in-room binoculars and a 'Whale Watch Dispatch' service. The design, led by SFA Design, draws on the contrast between rugged bluffs and coastal movement, with the 100-room Shore Cliff wing channeling a nostalgic, land-inspired aesthetic and the Lighthouse and Ocean House suites embracing a lighter, ocean-driven palette. Amenities include two pools, an expansive sun deck, and Pacific Market, a grab-and-go culinary concept for outdoor dining.

  • Pacific Point Resort is set to debut in July 2026.
  • Peregrine Hospitality will also debut the 54-suite Avila Beach House in July 2026.
  • Paso Robles Inn, another Peregrine property, will introduce three new dining concepts from Charlie Palmer in 2026.
