Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Californian

A sprawling collection of Spanish-Moorish buildings that opened in 2017 at the site of the historic 1925 Hotel Californian, this sophisticated property with a hip youthful vibe occupies nearly three full blocks just steps from Stearns Wharf and the harbor. The complex includes various rooms and suites created by famed SoCal interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, a rooftop pool deck with panoramic views, a Moroccan-theme spa, three restaurants and bars, meeting rooms, ballrooms, and three wine-tasting rooms.
