“Perched high above the Pacific in Dana Point, this Five-Diamond awarded hotel cultivates a unique blend of coastal luxury and artistic appreciation. Between curated collections from Dawson Cole Fine Art and oceanfront views from 180blu, the location fosters a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. I think its commitment to family-even furry members-and eco-conscious programs adds to its appeal as more than just a place to stay.”
