San Juan Capistrano & San Clemente

For those looking to stay in the picturesque and historical areas of San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente, there are plenty of options for any budget. The Capistrano Seaside Inn offers a romantic getaway with ocean views and lush gardens at a moderate price. If you're visiting San Juan Capistrano in March, the Best Western Capistrano Inn provides a great location for watching the swallows return to the Mission. In San Clemente, the
Casa Tropicana Inn & Spa is a comfortable bed and breakfast with themed rooms. Designed to look like a California, the Country Plaza Inn By San Clemente Beach boasts a variety of amenities including fresh fruit every morning and complimentary newspapers.

Laguna Beach & Dana Point

As one drives north or south along Highway 101, California's green highway signs announce the upcoming exits for "Beach Cities," referring to the beautiful, hip, coastal towns of Dana Point, Laguna Beach, and beyond. If you're looking for renowned golf courses, pristine beaches, high-end boutiques, or world-class surf spots, these unforgettable and unique cities are a must-see! Leading the list of Beach Cities' accommodation options is the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel. Named "the best hotel in North America" by the readers of Travel & Leisure. If the pricey rates of the Ritz aren't exactly your "cup 'o tea" check out The Surf & Sand. Here, guests are treated to their very own balcony with ocean views and a unique restaurant, Splashes, which features only the finest in Mediterranean cuisine. Other luxury accommodations include the St. Regis Monarch Beach which offers many interesting packages, and Montage Resort & Spa, which boasts amenities that define luxury.

Anaheim

Obviously, the main attraction for decades in the area has been Disneyland and its accommodations are no less famous. The Disneyland Hotel and the neighboring Disneyland Paradise Pier Hotel have been mainstays for visitors to the park where kids of all ages can dine with Mickey, Pluto, and all their friends, or simply experience the luxury of the "happiest place on earth". If you're looking for something a little homier, Dolphin's Cove Resort features a wide range of condominiums that are fully-equipped with kitchens, patios, and even a mini-golf course. For more wallet-friendly options off the park grounds, the Fairfield Inn Anaheim Disneyland Resort is located right across the street and the Castle Inn Suites lets you stay in your own castle in between visits to Cinderella's.

Costa Mesa & Irvine

The immediate areas surrounding John Wayne Airport, the cities of Irvine and Costa Mesa offer many accommodation options for business travelers or those who just want to explore the area. The Atrium Hotel and Hilton Irvine/Orange County Airport are both convenient distances to the airport as well as nearby shopping and restaurants. Also near some of the area's major shopping and popular local spots are Westin South Coast Plaza, which is connected to one of Orange County's trendy fashion centers, South Coast Plaza, and Holiday Inn Express Costa Mesa/Newport Beach provides easy access to some of the best beaches in the county.

Huntington Beach & Newport Beach

Being only a stones throw away from the most luxurious harbor in the region, Balboa Bay Club, has been alive and well since 1948 treating visitors (and many times the Hollywood elite), to four-diamond luxury amenities spread out over 15 incredible beachfront acres. Whether it's the prime waterfront dining or the short distance to Fashion Island, visitors will quickly realize why it has been dubbed "The Host of the Coast." Perhaps you're looking for a more affordable luxury experience. If so, you might want to explore the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel & Spa offering guests a rejuvenating spa experience in a comfortable and relaxing location. So whether you're looking to get away from it all, or simply trying to get close to everything, Orange County has options for every style of traveler.
