Ask a longtime Long Beach local about the Sky Room, and chances are, they’ll have a memory tied to it. For nearly a century, it’s been more than just a restaurant. It’s been a symbol of the city’s aspirations, resilience, and celebration. From the golden age of Hollywood to the rebirth of downtown, the Sky Room has quietly stood watch from the top of the Breakers.

 

Now, The Sky Room Is Back

 

After years of closure and anticipation, the Sky Room reopened in late 2024 as part of a sweeping restoration of the Breakers Hotel, now operated by Fairmont. The full project clocked in at over $150 million, and while that covered everything from ornamental ceilings to new hotel rooms, the Sky Room stands out as the crown jewel of the transformation.

 

Because some places matter. It’s not just another rooftop venue. It’s a touchstone—a place where people have proposed, celebrated graduations, birthdays, and anniversaries. The return is as much about the past as it is about giving today’s Long Beach a place to dress up for again.

 

What Is the Sky Room Serving With a $150 Million Comeback?

 

The vibe is elevated but not intimidating. You’ll find dishes like Wagyu Beef Wellington, lobster ravioli, and seasonal fare served beneath chandeliers and 1920s design touches. The views are as cinematic as ever, stretching across the skyline to the Pacific. It’s not a scene — it’s a setting.

 

Fairmont Breakers’ Halo Rooftop Lounge Provides 360° Views

 

For those who aren’t ready to dive into a full dinner, there’s a rooftop lounge just one floor above called Halo, where you can sip cocktails with a 360-degree view of Long Beach. You don’t need a dinner reservation for that. You just need to show up thirsty. 

 

Compared to Other Celebrated Places

 

Let’s talk about value. Compared to places like Heritage—which starts at $120 per person for a tasting menu and can easily run closer to $200 with drinks and tip—the Sky Room might actually be Long Beach’s most scenic bargain. You pick your plate, your pace, your moment.

The Sky Room isn’t just a restaurant reopening. It’s a familiar friend with a fresh suit—refined, confident, and right at home above the city it grew up with.
