IRVINE, Calif., June 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Pacific Hospitality Group (PHG) and R.D. Olson Development are pleased to announce the official opening of Paséa Hotel & Spa, the newest addition to the Meritage Collection's portfolio of lifestyle and luxury hotels and resorts.

The experience at Paséa is enhanced by in-room amenities including FRESH bath products, custom Frette hooded sweatshirt robes and linens, and standout onsite offerings including:

• The "I AM" Menu: An in-accommodations marketplace menu with a seemingly endless array of items and experiences, offering everything from basic forgotten travel essentials, custom surfboards and GoPro's to reservations for complimentary bicycle rentals, yoga classes and a local brewery tour.

We hope the community of Huntington Beach and our future guests enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it."
