The California Hotel List
169 hotels. My home state. Where I was born and raised, went to college, and came back for the long-haul. A state I know and love. A state so varied, so vast, with so many very great hotels. Too many to not stay somewhere special. And right for you. The hotels with asterisks are my personal preferences, but all 168 names are places I’d send either myself, clients, friends, or family.
23 in Wine Country. 9 in Marin County. 8 in the South & East Bays of the Bay Area. 12 in San Francisco. 27 in Los Angeles County. 14 in Santa Barbara County. 11 on the Sonoma and Mendocino coasts. 16 in the Palm Springs area. 5 in the Joshua Tree area. 5 in Orange County. 7 in San Luis Obispo County. 14 in Monterey County. 11 in San Diego County. 4 in the Lake Tahoe area. 2 in the Yosemite area. 1 in Big Bear. Hidden gems and known names and the particularly lovely places in-between. Inns, manses, resorts and retreats - the answer is always D, all the above. Cue the theme song to The OC, shall we?
