Pacific Coast Highway: Hotels

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.

Fall foliage, a 5,000-square-foot spa, 114 charming rooms, and 19th-century-style glamour: the new thelakeestatenh has all the makings of the perfect autumn retreat. Opened just this month, expect to spend days at the lakeside hotel strolling through the property’s forest, picnicking on the private dock, and curling up with a hot toddy—and a good book—in the library.

Looking for drama? History? Seriously good cocktails? The nationalexchangehotel in Nevada City, California has all three in spades. First opened in 1865, the hotel played a central role in the region’s Gold Rush — and is home to one of the oldest bars west of the Mississippi. 🍸

There’s no shortage of great hotels in Tokyo, but the imperialhoteljapan occupies a special place in the city. Opened in 1890 as the first western-style hotel in Japan, it was redesigned by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1923, and then again 50 years later. Today, it’s every bit as glamorous as it’s always been—and is gearing up for its next chapter: a 10+ year-long reimagining (it will remain open throughout) in time for its 150th anniversary in 2040.

In our book, the perfect cabin retreat is rustic (without sacrificing a luxe amenity or two), cozy, and just far enough away from it all that it feels like a true getaway. ⛰️ 🍂 You can scope out eight cabins that have all that—and more—by checking out the full story, linked in our bio.

Summer travel may be winding down, but the shoulder season is just heating up at these five destinations. Here’s why they’re on our fall hit list:

🇬🇷 Greece: Crowds are thinning and temperatures are cooling off, but it’s still plenty warm for swimming and sun lounging.

🇪🇸 Barcelona, Spain: The city’s intense summer crowds have also waned, but the city’s best attractions are just as good in the Fall as they are during peak season.

🇻🇳 Vietnam: If you’re not ready to embrace chillier days, a shoulder season trip to Vietnam is for you. Temperatures are still on the higher side, but you’ll beat the crowds that start to surge during the holidays.

🇿🇦 South Africa: Two words: Spring blooms. September, October, and November are some of the most beautiful times of year to witness South Africa’s natural beauty.

🇯🇵 Tokyo: Sure, cherry blossoms are nice, but heading to Tokyo during the fall provides a whole different kind of leaf-peeping opportunity.

A trip to Napa is always a good idea. 🍷😍 And you’d be hard-pressed to find a hotel with a better view of Napa’s rolling vineyards than poetryinnnapa. Perched on a hill high above Napa Valley, the property feels secluded, but is just minutes from Yountville and some of the region’s best wineries (and their team can also get you into some of the best crush parties of the season). With just five spacious suites—each subtly themed after a famous poet—Poetry Inn is as charming as it is luxurious.

Safari, but make it chic. 🐘 These two stunning new safari outposts — Masiya’s Camp at royalmalewane in South Africa and Serengeti House at singta_ Grumeti in Tanzania — are leveling up the game. And, they’re perfect for those of us who want to get close to the outdoors, but can’t go without creature comforts (and killer decor).

What makes for the perfect long-weekend getaway destination? In our opinion, it’s three things: walkability, a great mix of culture and nature, and easy access to an airport. (And, let’s be honest, a great boutique hotel or two doesn't hurt.) These five destinations certainly fit that bill—and are the perfect places to head to if you don’t have Labor Day Weekend plans. ✈️
