The bar will feature a revised dining concept and a more coastal lounge environment, with plans that include changes to its entrance for better access.
Public spaces have been adapted to create a streamlined flow throughout the property while the renovated lobby will include extended retail space and additional communal seating.
Guests will find 191 renovated rooms and suites, furnished and outfitted by Dyelot Interiors. They will incorporate updated bathroom facilities such as walk-in showers and upgraded mirrors.
The renovation adds eight one-bedroom suites, resulting in a total of ten suites.
This property will also implement new partnerships and social event programming intended for both visitors and local residents.
The Maya general manager Greg Guthrie said: “From refreshed guest rooms to a completely reimagined lobby and signature lounge, Fuego, this renovation will bring new energy to the property while preserving the warmth and character our guests have always loved.”
The Maya owner Kam Babaoff said: “This next chapter represents more than just a design transformation; it’s a continued investment in the growth of Long Beach’s tourism landscape and a reaffirmation of our commitment to creating spaces that celebrate community, culture, and connection.”
Opened in 1975 originally as the Queensbay Hilton, the property has seen multiple renovations, including a $20m update in 2009 and a $4m refurbishment in 2015.
