August 17, 2018 - Hotels - by Devyn Woolsey

Whether you’re planning a beach getaway or a fun weekend in the city, finding hotels in California that match your vacation plans is simple.

California is massive and diverse, both culturally and geographically, allowing you to choose from many vacation options. Do you want a big city getaway in the heart of San Francisco? How about a few days of relaxing spa treatments or working on your golf game in a resort by the sea? From the rural splendor of Big Sur, to the fashionable shops, restaurants, and people that define Los Angeles, there are destinations and accommodations for every type of traveler to the Golden State. We've put together a few of the best California hotels and resorts throughout the state to help you get started on your search for the perfect stay.

The Ritz Carlton, San Francisco

The ideal hotel for the city traveler, this Ritz Carlton offers top-of-the-line service, great restaurants and spa facilities, and a prime location in the heart of San Francisco’s Chinatown.

The Lodge at Torrey Pines

The Lodge offers all of the comforts you expect from a world-class California hotel—gourmet dining options, deluxe rooms, a swimming pool and hot tub, and then some. Enjoy the natural wonder of the southern California coast at the nearby Torrey Pines National Park or the La Jolla beaches, or play a round or two at the world-class Torrey Pines golf course overlooking the ocean.

The Peninsula Beverly Hills

For a decadent retreat in glamorous Beverly Hills, The Peninsula has it all. Reserve a garden suite and book a day at the spa to feel pampered like the Hollywood elite. Sure, you’ll be close to the excitement of the city, but you may never want to leave.

Post Ranch Inn, Big Sur

Built directly into the oceanside cliffs of the artist-friendly region of Big Sur, the Post Ranch Inn is ideal for a romantic vacation far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Stay there and enjoy an award-winning spa, ocean and mountain views, and wood-burning fireplaces in your room for an intimate getaway.

Omni San Diego

Enjoy the city without forfeiting the beach at this luxurious San Diego hotel, located in the historic Gaslamp Quarter and right next to the bustling Embarcadero Marina. At Omni, you’ll be within walking distance from many of San Diego’s museums, and just a short drive away from the city’s popular zoo, a must if you’re in the area.
