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

Microwaves and mini-fridges keep leftovers from going to waste.

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

Basic neutral palette rocks the occasional bold blue accent wall or a pop of sunny yellow just to keep things interesting.

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.

Directly across the street from the sun and surf of Doheny State Beach.

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

Hotel pool for when you feel like getting splashy.

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

Spanish style and red tile set the vacay tone, in case the beachfront location wasn't enough for ya.

Northern France comes to Southern California via ivy, gas lanterns and stonework.

There’s a reason ‘Discovery’ is in the hotel name – oodles to see and do nearby.

Mickey is your neighbor – the entrance to Disneyland is only a block away.

Every suite rocks a full-equipped kitchen and dining area – or hit the outdoor BBQs and show fellow guests how it’s done.
