Réservez si You want a historic, romantic desert escape that feels like Old Hollywood but has modern pools and dining.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- Stunning Catalina Mountain views, especially from the negative-edge pool
- Historic charm dating back to 1929 (former finishing school for the Vanderbilts)
- The Grill's award-winning wine list and romantic patio setting
En bref : It's called a 'Guest Ranch,' but there are no horses on-site anymore—just a very polished, historic resort vibe.
Évalué par @constantinesummer: I stayed here for a weekend recharge and was blown away by the history. Walking the gardens at golden hour was pure magic, and the art everywhere gives it such a unique soul. It’s not just a hotel, it’s a total vibe. Highly recommend for couples.
