  • We had the very BEST room and the area was perfect for a long relaxing weekend. Furnishings were high end and sleek. Super comfortable bedding and just gorgeous architecture and views of the ocean. Loved it!!!
  • My wife and I came here for our one year anniversary. This is the best hotel I've ever stayed in. I once stayed in a Ritz Carlton and our stay here was far superior with beauty and amazing costumer service. We will be back. Thank you to all the staff at Hotel Californian for making our stay welcoming and magical.
