About the Highlands Inn A Park Hyatt Hotel

Written by .View 's Blog.

Imagine a room by the ocean, wood burning fireplace, and jacuzzi tub all in the same place, the Highlands Inn makes that a reality. This hotel was built in 1916 and sits in a pine forest at the gateway to Big Sur. Many Celebrities have stayed here including John Travolta, Tony Bennet and Oprah Winfrey. In the lounge you will find one of the most breath taking views and you can soak in the jazz while looking down on the ocean. In the atrium-style lobby you will find polished wooden columns and dark blue glass. But the real ambiance of this hotel lies in the guest rooms. Both of the restaurants offer wonderful food and service and their food and wine lists are second to none, not to mention the fact that you are literally floating on the pacific ocean.The staff treats all their guests like celebrities.

Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?

For most this is a once or twice in a lifetime stay. An ocean view room, with a real fireplace and the sounds and smells of crackling firewood, while soaking in a jacuzzi?? Yes it is all that and so much more. Read our customer reviews?
