There is no better time to travel to California than spring. The temperatures are practically perfect, the flowers are in bloom, the fields are green and the ocean is crystal clear.
Often times, when travelers think of California, their thoughts go straight to the beach. We don’t always think California is lush and green. But the cooler temperatures of the spring season make the grass grow long and help the water clearer each day.
This list of hotels features highly rated hotels in beautiful destinations for a range of budgets. This list spans the range of the most popular California destinations and includes both urban and off-path destinations.
1. Hotel del Coronado
This hotel is perfect for travelers looking for a beach vacation. The Hotel del Coronado, where the 1959 Marylin Monroe film Some Like It Hot was filmed, has been a popular travel destination for 100 years. Coronado Island in San Diego, California is filled with historic buildings, breathtaking beaches, and great open-air restaurants. This hotel is close to parks, museums, zoos, and aquariums, and is just a short drive from the rest of San Diego.
