Hotel The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay (Half Moon Bay, USA)

Positioned in all its elegance atop a secluded promontory which looms above the Northern Californian coastline, this upscale accommodation-house mirrors in elegance the scenery with the quality of service. Private functions, such as weddings and conferences, are well-accommodated. A varying assortment of rooms, suites, and guesthouses remain at the selection of guests—many of which include marble bathrooms, gas fireplaces, and separate living rooms. Window-views vary between the stunning oceanfront and The Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay’s private golf course. The serene pleasures of luxury spa treatments are at the constant disposal of visitors, equating in excellence only to the residents’ lounge, where personal concierge services are coupled by custom meals at the request of guests. Procuring their produce from local, organic farms, Half Moon Bay features three on-site restaurants—varying wildly in ambience and style of cuisine—as well as a wine bar. Many wineries, beaches, and golf courses are just a brief drive from The Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay.
