Travel + Leisure says..."A stay at Bernardus Lodge proves that Napa hotels don't have a monopoly on California's premier wine country. The romantic 57-suite Bernardus is ideally situated in a lush mountain valley between the Monterey peninsula and the Big Sur coast (about 160 miles south of Napa Valley) and close to the region's well-regarded wineries and celebrated golf links. The all-suite accommodations blend antiques and wood-beam ceilings with the requisite high-tech touches, plus plush beds, soaking tubs, and wood-burning fireplaces. The lodge's Marinus restaurant, with chef Cal Stamenov at the helm, has evolved into one of northern California's premier dining spots, serving California natural cuisine: dishes include Sonoma duck and grilled quail served with risotto, chanterelle, and foie gras sauce, and Carmel Bay prawns and shellfish bisque flavored with cilantro and jalapeAo, paired with prize-winning Marinus Estate Bordeaux-style wine from the lodge's own vineyard. There's plenty to keep you occupied in the immediate surroundings, from hikes and horseback riding in the nearby Santa Lucia mountains to tennis, croquet, or bocce on the lodge lawns, but who wants to leave your perch overlooking vineyards, rolling hills, and lavender blossoms?" -From Travel + Leisure

Travel + Leisure says..."Modern 16-story tower a mile from Rodeo Drive, with impeccable and discreet service worthy of its many celebrity guests.Rooms to Book: Lower-floor Deluxe rooms for lovely garden views. The Grand Luxury Suite (No. 1606) offers awesome views of the Hollywood Hills and downtown L.A., along with a huge bathroom. Insider Tip: Spend a night at the Windows Lounge, a celebrity hot spot. As celebrity moms like Courteney Cox and Victoria Beckham already know, the Four Seasons is super family-friendly: even mini terrycloth robes are provided for the kiddies.The spectacularly huge floral arrangement that dominates this hotel's small lobby hints at the opulence of the 285 rooms and suites all of which are adorned in rich brocade fabrics, gleaming warm-toned wood, and beds piled with down duvets and pillows. Most have spacious marble bathrooms and balconies big enough to read the morning paper on. Little wonder that the 16-story property is a favorite hangout for celebs year-round (if you book during the week of a major awards ceremony, you'll be practically overrun by famous guests). There's a see-and-be-seen scene at the fourth-floor pool, where Hollywood bigwigs review scripts over Bellinis and divas disappear into poolside cabanas for their afternoon massages. If you don't run into your favorite star while waiting for a fruit-and-pumpkin enzyme facial peel, you probably will at the lavish Sunday brunch at Gardens, the hotel's alfresco restaurant."

"Andalusian-style golf-and-spa resort situated in a dramatic 220-acre valley with everything from an apothecary (where guests mix their own beauty products) to guided rock-climbing expeditions and one of the region's best spas.
Rooms to Book: Guestrooms in the Casa Loma building (rooms 330-398) have a central location and fabulous views of the back valley and surrounding mountains.
Insider Tip: Try the signature Pink Moment Martini at Maravilla's Lounge.
The 220-acre Ojai Valley Inn & Spa, situated in a mountain valley that aptly portrayed Shangri-la in the 1937 film Lost Horizon, has long been known for its classic 18-hole golf course and for its Native American culture- inspired spa. Now it has upped the ante with a $70 million renovation, creating a new lobby, adding an additional 100 guest rooms, and refurbishing the existing 205 rooms with four-poster beds and decorative Mexican terra-cotta tiles. The style is Spanish colonial, but the substance is fully 21st century, including Wi-Fi and flat-screen TV's. In the spa, signature treatments incorporate locally grown organic ingredients (citrus, lavender), and a dedicated men's menu lures golfers with treatments such as the Gentleman's Luxury Facial and Golfer's Post-Round Massage, which can be administered, upon request, in a room outfitted with a fireplace."
