Fodor's Expert Review Inn at Langley

Perched on a bluff above the beach, this concrete-and-wood Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired structure is just steps from the center of town and features elegant, contemporary guest rooms, all with soaking tubs, wood-burning fireplaces, balconies, and dramatic marine and mountain views. In-room highlights include open Jacuzzi tubs (all with views of Saratoga Passage) and flat-panel televisions. The Inn's restaurant (reservations essential), with its double-sided river-rock fireplace and full-view kitchen, is set above a pretty herb garden. In summer it serves sumptuous six-course dinners on Friday and Saturday at 7 (one seating only). If you have time, book an appointment at the spa, which includes a complimentary visit to the steam room.
