"Craftsman-style inn-a beloved retreat of the Hollywood elite-near downtown Laguna Beach in one of the state's most dramatic settings, atop a coastal bluff with pristine beaches.
Rooms to Book: Ocean Surf Views on the upper floors, for their views of the Pacific break.
Insider Tip: The Thalassic Beach Walk—a complimentary, spa-therapist-guided stroll that focuses on the mind-body benefits of ocean air.
Montage aims for an experience you might find in Positano, crisp service and the smell of the surf. You’ll find a pianist in the lobby, and a meal at the Studio, the hotel’s celebrated restaurant. The Arts and Crafts–style Montage Resort & Spa, the most architecturally impressive spot on the beach offers—in a too-rare instance of architectural common sense— 262 rooms with Pacific panoramas. The location is exceptional, on a 30 acre spot on a bluff with a 280-degree view of the Pacific. The shingle-style architecture, all twists and turns and gables and porches, is incurably romantic; it's a re-creation of the world of the California Impressionists who gathered in Laguna during the teens and twenties, lived in humble beach bungalows, and painted this coastline. The Montage showcases natural materials—stone, dark wood, copper—and a prominent collection of art from early in the 20th century, including works by William Wendt, Jean Mannheim and the other air painters who put this area on the map. The best rooms to book are those on the southern side; they're quietest and face the water. Don't miss the Thalassic Beach Walk—a complimentary, spa-therapist-guided stroll that focuses on the mind-body benefits of ocean air."

What's Great Travel + Leisure says... "Oceanside boutique hotel near the historic Santa Monica Pier with a quirky take on British Regency style (oversize cameo portraits, velvet wallpaper, asymmetrical bookcases); it has some of the area's most unique interiors. The most fun of the four California hotels designed by Kor Hotel Group collaborator Kelly Wearstler, the 162-room Viceroy seems like an extension of the nearby amusement park on Santa Monica Pier. Though the exterior—a white boxy slab—doesn’t invite a second glance, the interiors here marry retro-chic with pure whimsy. In both the rooms and the common areas, the striking monochrome (black, white, and gray) color scheme is spiked with accents of parrot green and sunshine yellow (chairs in the lobby; throw pillows and upholstered benches in the rooms; curtains in the Library lounge). There’s also a whole lotta reflection going on, with silver-foil wallpaper, mirrored glass, and high-shine white Formica in almost every space. The slick Cameo Bar and Whist, the restaurant helmed by Warren Schwartz, are hubs for the young and gorgeous (who love to catch sight of themselves in all those mirrors)."
