6 romantic retreats in california

Korakia Pensione in Palm Springs 

Grab the glass of mint tea that awaits you in your Moroccan 
or Mediterranean-style room, then head out through 

French doors onto your bougainvillea-edged patio to sip and stare 

at the San Jacinto Mountains. Later, go for a swim in one of the inn’s

 two torch-lit pools under clear desert skies, 

or catch an outdoor movie.

Figueroa Hotel in Los Angeles

Humphrey Bogart would fit right in at this cinematic
Moroccan oasis in the middle of downtown's flurry.

Indian Springs in Calistoga

There’s no better way to warm up, literally and figuratively, for an amorous 
evening than with a soak in steamy water so rich with minerals 
it feels like silk ― especially when your private cottage 
is just footsteps away.

Cedar House Sport Hotel in Truckee

Skip Tahoe’s typically crowded après-ski scene 
and head back to eco-luxe Cedar House for a glass of red at the

guests-only fireside bar. Enjoy an outdoor soak before an 

Italian supper at the boutique inn’s new restaurant, Stella.

Deetjen's Big Sur Inn

Each of the very rustic cottages, which are grouped around a 
redwood-shaded ravine on a gorgeously untamed coastline.  

When the rains lash the redwoods, there’s no better place to snuggle 

and listen to the crackling of a fire in the woodstove.

The Orchid Inn in Santa Barbara

Orchid blossoms appear on your pillow each night, 
the beach is just a short walk away,
and rooms have wood-burning fireplaces and private entries.
