Los Angeles luxury ocean front hotel, Shutters on the Beach offers the ultimate California experience. The Hotel evokes a sense of comfortable elegance that one would find in a grand, yet unpretentious, beach home, while affording panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and California coastline.
What's Great Travel + Leisure says...
"Nantucket-style shingled property, centrally located along Santa Monica Beach, that offers the perks of a luxury hotel along with a laid-back beach-house vibe.
Rooms to Book: Ocean View rooms are worth the $105 upgrade for their idyllic views and proximity to the surf (you'll wake up to it every morning). The Presidential Suites have two balconies apiece—and with this location, they’re actually worth the hefty $3,500 price tag per night.
Insider Tip: Order one of the organic tequilas, vodkas, or beers at Coast, the beachside cafe.
This sprawling beach-house-style inn looks like it was airlifted from Nantucket and dropped on the Santa Monica shore. Inside, the common areas (like the fireside lounge with chairs and sofas upholstered in seashell colors) and the 198 rooms (all whitewashed wood and blue-and-white patterned upholstery, with wicker-furnished balconies) reinforce the laid-back, summer-house vibe. But there’s real luxury here too: The on-site ONE spa offers decadent massages, facials, and body scrubs using Ole Henriksen products, and at the nautically-themed One Pico restaurant, chef Michael Reardon serves elegant seafood dishes like Petrale sole grilled whole with salt and bay leaves."

The AAA Five-Diamond Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua completed a $180 million transformation and features 463 guestrooms, including 107 one and two-bedroom Residential Suites; six restaurants; The Ritz-Carlton Spa; and Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ambassadors of the Environment program. The hotel is located on 54 acres in the midst of the 23,000 acre Kapalua Resort, featuring two championship golf courses, the Kapalua Adventure Center and a historic pineapple plantation.
What's Great Travel + Leisure says...
"An oceanfront building flanked by two championship golf courses, 20 minutes from Lahaina; a recent $180 million redo ensures a laid-back Hawaiian feel with breezy interiors, a cultural center, and a new spa.
Rooms to Book: Oceanfronts, with views of D.T. Fleming beach.
Insider Tip: Visit the environmental-education center, to learn about the area’s natural resources.
Until recently, the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua's buttoned-up European look was strangely out of touch with its tropical surroundings. Now, after a $180 million renovation, the hotel has lost the chintzy curtains, faux Renaissance artwork, and yes, the fireplace in the library. The 446 guest rooms are breezy yet refined: kukui tree-patterned rugs cover dark Brazilian ironwood floors, and wrought-iron lanais look out on the island landscape. As they say in Hawaii, Na mea maikai — It's all good."

The Ritz-Carlton provides the finest personal service and facilities throughout the world. Framed by the turqoise waters of the Caribbean Sea and swaying coconut palms, The Ritz-Carlton, San Juan Hotel, Spa and Casino encompasses eight acres of pristine beachfront within the Isla Verde resort area on the island of Puerto Rico. The hotel was the first Ritz-Carlton property to feature a casino and offers all the beauty of a tropical destination combined with an ideal metropolitan San Juan location and a world-class spa. The Ritz-Carlton, San Juan Hotel, Spa and Casino is three miles from the dining and entertainment venues of the Condado and six miles from the Hato Rey financial district.
What's Great Travel + Leisure says...
"Beachfront resort and casino in Isla Verde with grand Neoclassical interiors and some of San Juan's best restaurants, including outposts of New York City's BLT Steak and Il Mulino.
Cloaked in marble, crystal, dark woods, brocade fabrics, and gilded moldings, the 416-room Ritz is easily San Juan's most opulent resort. The property, set on eight beachfront acres, is approached from a long, circular drive, where guests are immediately met by crisp valets and whisked up to their large, plush rooms (all overlook either landscaped gardens or a pretty swimming beach). Among the resort's amenities are two fabulous restaurants—New York outposts of BLT Steak and Il Mulino—as well as the Island's most glamorous casino and a 12,000-square-foot spa offering treatments like papaya-and-mango facials. Since this is one of the older Ritz resorts in the Caribbean (it opened in 1997), its age is beginning to show. Luckily, the rooms are scheduled to get a facelift in 2008.
Tip: The on-property casino is the island's most elegant and attracts locals as well as tourists on weekend nights.
Room to Book: Rooms on the club level have access to a lounge where complimentary continental breakfasts, afternoon snacks, and evening wine hors d'oeuvres are served."
