California dreaming: Highlands Inn, A Hyatt Hotel is a cliffside getaway offering superior comfort and a romantic view of the rugged Pacific coast.
EXPERIENCE
From your perch in a Townhouse Spa Suite at Highlands Inn, A Hyatt Hotel, there's nothing but glass between you and the open Pacific. Except, that is, the dramatic headlands of Big Sur, one of world's most gorgeous stretches of coastline. As you watch the rolling surf, a fire crackles in the hearth of your two-level retreat, whose other amenities include a spa tub and a fully equipped kitchen.
On an ocean bluff among Monterey pines, Highlands Inn, A Hyatt Hotel offers 50 rooms and suites, most of them with water views. Enjoy a seasonal menu of Coastal California cuisine at the celebrated Pacific's Edge Restaurant, then take in some live music at the Sunset Lounge. If you'd rather not leave your suite, follow up an in-room massage with a five-course meal served by your very own waiter and sommelier.
The hotel is minutes from Pebble's beach's superb golf courses. Among the Monterey area's countless other delights: scuba diving, aerial flightseeing at sunset, and wine adventures.
