The Mansion in San Diego

Often I am asked where to stay in San Diego. Why not try the Spreckels Mansion on Coronado Island. The Glorietta Bay Inn is across the street from the famous Del Coronado Resort and is much less expensive. Each room is unique with history and charm. The Contempory Inn building rooms give you the best value however the Historic Mansion rooms are special. The Mansion was built by John D. Spreckels of the sugar family. Enjoy!!!!

Post Ranch Inn, A Very Special Resort

In all of America, few places rival the sheer natural beauty of Big Sur. The towering cliffs, the thick endless sea of Redwood trees and the seemingly never ending ocean gives the location a zen-like quality: it's a place of relaxation, seclusion and ever present awe.

And within the idyllic landscape of Big Sur, very few hotels can compete with Post Ranch Inn. As a place of romance, rejuvenation and escape, the Post Ranch Inn beckons to the soul.

Perched over twelve-hundred feet over the sea, the place seems to meld into the rugged beauty of the California coast. And with only thirty nine rooms, guest are only afforded the most spectacular views that their hearts can withstand. Which is what the Post Ranch Inn seeks to give.

At the hotel, you can eat from an award-winning restaurant, partake in a relaxing yoga session, learn how to meditate, frolic through the area with an experienced guide, gaze at the stars, stay connected to friends and family via wireless Internet and use their complimentary Lexus's! Along with this, the Post Ranch Inn has a heated swimming pool, two spas and a fitness center.

The magic though doesn't end in the common amenities. The true beauty is in your room. King bed with organic mattress and linens, wood-burning fireplace, indoor spa tub, private deck with views of the ocean or mountains, outdoor stainless steel hot tub, heated floors, stereo with digital music system, iPod docking station, Mini-bar offering complimentary snacks and
non-alcoholic beverages, coffee and tea, complimentary wireless Internet access, in-room dining, nightly turn down service, terry cloth robe, slippers, organic bath products, walking sticks, binocular,s in-room safe, hairdryer and iron/ironing board complimentary with the room's cost!

It's places like these in the world that make life special. And it's places like these we should make a habit in indulging every once in awhile. So if your in Big Sur, think about spending some time in Post Ranch Inn. You'll likely never forget it!
