Hotel June Malibu

A Hidden Gem in Malibu – The Heartfelt Elegance of Hotel June After living in Los Angeles for over 15 years and traveling across the globe, I’ve developed a pretty good sense for places that don’t just offer beds—but stories. And this past weekend, I stumbled upon one of those rare gems that make you pause, breathe deeper, and whisper to yourself, “This… this is special.” Let me introduce you to Hotel June Malibu—a boutique hideaway with only 13 rooms, tucked between coastal beauty and warm California sunshine. But don’t let the size fool you. What it lacks in scale, it more than makes up for in soul. The rooms? Thoughtfully designed, with those subtle touches that whisper good taste instead of shouting trends. Think: crisp linens, warm light, and materials that feel like someone cared. The kind of care you rarely find in cookie-cutter resorts. The staff? Some of the kindest I’ve met. Genuinely attentive, beautifully relaxed—like Malibu itself. From check-in to breakfast by the pool, everything felt effortless, kind, and warmly human. Speaking of the pool: it’s not just a place to dip your toes—it’s a sanctuary. A rare space where conversation flows slower, and even your iPhone seems to know it’s time to switch off. I came for a short escape and left with a long-term plan. We’ll be returning soon for a full retreat and private buyout, because let’s be honest: when you find a place that blends design, location, and soul with this kind of precision—you don’t just visit. You commit. Hotel June isn’t just a stay. It’s a feeling. And feelings are what great hotels should be made of. Perfect for couples, creative souls, and anyone needing a pause button in the chaos of life. Highly recommended—with heart. Holger Bröer (Founder Coach Curious Traveler)

We loved Hotel June while visiting Malibu. It was outside of town so not so hectic. We felt safe and the customer service was great but we really didn't need any help as everything was as expected or exceeded our expectations. We loved the small quiet pool area for relaxing and felt it was a great place and good value compared to more expensive properties in town.

This place lacks most everything. The staff is unwelcoming and the room was like an unfinished garage. The price is utterly outrageous for what you get, which is not much. No view on busy Pacific Coast Highway. No real options for food. The only good thing I can say is they accept pets.
