Ritz-Carlton Huntington Hotel & Spa

Fodor's Review:

An azalea-filled Japanese garden and the unusual Picture Bridge, with murals celebrating California's history, make this an especially scenic place to stay. Opened in 1907, the Mediterranean-style main building is surrounded by 23 acres of green lawns. The service is truly outstanding; everyone from the valet to the poolside attendant is warm, attentive, and observant. Traditional guest rooms are handsome if a bit small; all have been updated in shades of gold and blue. Brocade fabrics are found throughout, as are flat-screen TVs and CD players. The hotel's formal restaurant, the Dining Room, can be counted on for a rarefied contemporary dining experience. Treat yourself and order Chef Craig Strong's multicourse tasting menu. The popular children's programs are offered in summer only.
