The landmark bell tower has been standing since the 1920s, and La Bahia is the hotel that finally caught up to it. Set on Beach Street with actual ocean views from many of its 155 rooms, this Spanish Mediterranean property is Santa Cruz's most luxurious place to sleep, with a spa, a pool, and several bars and restaurants ranging from casual poolside to coastal Californian. The rooms mix the building's original Spanish bones with something clean and contemporary.

Spanish Revival bones and bay views make this Pacific Grove hotel a more atmospheric base than the usual Monterey-area chain. Ninety-nine rooms and suites, many with balconies, carry the architecture's old California mood without feeling stuck in it. The Caledonian restaurant handles modern American with Californian wines. Pebble Beach, Carmel, and Cannery Row are all just minutes down the road.

Check-in here comes with a craft cocktail, which sets the tone for this 172-room Marriott Moxy in downtown Oakland. The pink neon sign and a multi-story mural mark the building from a block away. The bar that handles arrivals doubles as an all-day lounge and co-working space, so the lobby is reliably animated. Rooms run modern boutique, with subway-tile bathrooms and wall-mounted storage keeping things compact and intentional.
