Hotel del Coronado
This beachfront resort is an icon in San Diego; a 1888 wooden Victorian lot that’s often viewed as a beacon of grandeur. Many of America’s greats have put up here through the years, some including Katharine Hepburn, Oprah Winfrey, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Barack Obama. But the hotel’s most significant pop culture association is it being a backdrop to many notable films, most famously ‘Some Like It Hot’ starring Marilyn Monroe. A night here is not so much a stay as it is a trip to an American landmark.
The Lodge at Torrey Pines
The Lodge at Torrey Pines
This Californian ranch resort is great for those going on a golf vacation; the lodge is located next to Torrey Pines Golf Course’s 18th green. Because it lies above the cliffs of Torrey Pines State Beach, the aerial views are spectacular, even more so when you catch a glimpse of migrating seagulls that roam around the waters. (Naturally, The Lodge is a popular spot for weddings.) After a full day of golfing, head to the spa, whose treatments make use of botanical- and marine-based extracts from La Jolla’s coastline.
Grande Colonial Hotel
