Pacific Coast Highway: Next-Generation Hotels

Beautifully Reimagined Hotels Along the Pacific Coast Highway

Miles and miles of stunning ocean overlooks make cruising along the bluffs of the Pacific Coast Highway about the journey, not the destination. But even the most enthusiastic road tripper needs a place to stop and rest, and it might as well be a place that’s as unique as getting there. From roadside motels turned luxury boutiques, to stylish, glamp-ready yurts, Route 1 has the perfect stop for any traveler. Find one that suits your speed in our round up of Pacific Coast Highway next-generation hotels.

Would you go on a quietcation? One of this year’s biggest travel trends has us seeking out silence—like the kind you’ll find if you’re in Bali on March 19th for Nyepi. For 24 hours, the island goes quiet in celebration of the Hindu New Year, giving residents and guests space to cleanse negative energy, reflect, and welcome in new beginnings.
