For the best hotels in California, here are some of the top choices.

In Los Angeles, The Elan Hotel is fabulous. Relax in comfortable rooms with great amenities. The free Continental breakfast is a fantastic way to start your day. They also have a super wine and cheese happy hour in the evening which is great for socializing or just unwinding.

If San Diego is where you plan to stay over, check out the Grand Del Mar. One of the best hotels in California, with superb friendly service, the Grand Del Mar won’t disappoint. The grounds are beautiful and large enough for a nice quiet jog in the morning. Relax in huge rooms in comfort and peace and quiet.

For yet another of the best hotels in California, the Fairmont Heritage Place in Ghirardelli Square, San Francisco, is a great place to stay. The staff is excellent, and you can enjoy complimentary Cadillac Escalade transportation around the hotel. Gaze at the amazing views of the Bay and Alcatraz, and relax by the open fire pit in the comfortable furniture.

If you are visiting Disneyland, stay in the Ayres Hotel in Anaheim. Spacious rooms, friendly, helpful staff, free parking and an excellent breakfast (including Mickey Mouse Pancakes!) are just a few of the reasons to stay here. You can even request a room with a view of Disneyland’s fireworks.

Palm Springs has a wonderful hidden gem called the Desert Riviera Hotel. It is excellent for couples, and the personalized touches are an added plus. Relax by the breathtaking pool area and enjoy all the free perks, like colorful towels on every lounger, free use of suntan lotions, and even bikes for use to go to the shops. The staff is absolutely amazing. This is indeed one of the best hotels in California.
