The Best Hotel in Capitola and Soquel, The Monterey Bay Area

This inventively designed B&B in a former rail depot views itself as a link to the era of luxury train travel, and each double room or suite, complete with fireplace and featherbeds, is inspired by a different destination—Italy's Portofino, France's Côte d'Azur, Japan's Kyoto. One suite is decorated like a railroad baron's Pullman car. Some accommodations have private patios with hot tubs. This is a great place for an adults-only weekend.
