CORTE MADERA, CA, December 20, 2006. Larkspur Hospitality announced today that it has acquired The Belamar Hotel in Manhattan Beach, California.

"We are very pleased to be acquiring The Belamar Hotel, our first acquisition in the Los Angeles area," said Karl Hoagland, Chairman and CEO, Larkspur Hospitality. "Many Larkspur guests at our 19 hotels in California and the Pacific Northwest have been asking for hotels in other markets that they travel to, particularly Southern California, and we are now able to satisfy their desires by adding the Belamar to The Larkspur Collection. The Belamar is a fully-renovated four-star hotel that will serve both leisure and corporate travelers by virtue of its strategic location in Manhattan Beach, as well proximity to corporate business centers approximately 10 minutes south of LAX."
