There are few other places on earth where you can experience so much cultural, environmental, and architectural diversity within a single borderless trip. If there&#8217;s any constant thread you should consider, it&#8217;s Highway 1. Following the coastal route as it snakes along the edge of the continent is a great way to explore the perpetual gifts the Golden State has on offer \u2014 especially if you&#8217;re a hotel fan.<\/p>\n<p>Finding fantastic resting points for each leg of your journey can be very easily done, starting with the lodgings below.

Between there and Los Angeles, you&#8217;ll find no shortage of stellar beaches, starting with Laguna, and hotels, starting with <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/orange-county-hotels\/casa-laguna-inn-spa\">Casa Laguna Hotel &amp; Spa<\/a>, an adults-only hideaway that aims to recapture some of the town&#8217;s notable past as a sleepy little artists\u2019 colony.
