Hotel pool for when you feel like getting splashy.

Perfect beach-goer practicality right on the PCH. Capitalize on a Cappy's breakfast with a TidePoole's sandwich for lunch, both are flip-flop distance.

History buffs will heart the proximity to the Mission San Juan Capistrano ruins (walking distance!).

Located within walking distance of Doheny State Beach and Dana Point Harbor.

Convenient OC home base, near Irvine Spectrum Center and Laguna Beach.

Free WiFi keeps us from getting the tech withdrawal shakes.

Cliffside locale means stunning scenery, and the beach & harbor are walkable (free cardio on the way back!).

Those cookies though.

Originally opened as ‘The Airporter’ (for obvious reasons) way back in 1969. And still going strong today.

Perfectly situated within walking distance of shops, eats and the sands.

Unbeatable setting on a pristine stretch of white-sand coastline.

A 10-ish-min drive to the Irvine Spectrum Center, home to a dizzying number of dining options, shops, and even a Ferris wheel.

Hotel pool refreshes and de-stresses.

Spot-on location if you’re Disneyland-bound – just 4 miles from the park. (Take the easy ART shuttle.)

Sophisticated modern hotel in the heart of O.C., the garden setting on a man-made lake adds to the peaceful vibe.

Rooms take ya back to the romantic Victorian era (without forgoing mod cons like oversized marble showers, WiFi + gas fireplaces).
