California Hotel Guide
As the world reopens after the COVID-19 shutdown, many of our clients are asking about domestic getaways - yes we plan domestic as well! Whether you’re looking for a staycation, a hotel within driving distance, a destination that requires a flight or a more comprehensive domestic itinerary, we’d love to help you navigate the new travel landscape. I spent time at Blackberry Farm in Tennessee at the beginning of the month so I have personal experience on a plane post COVID-19 shutdown and staying at a hotel that has implemented social-distancing measures on property.
Let’s celebrate exploring more of our own backyards by beginning with my home-state of California! Below you’ll find a round-up of some of our favorite properties in California, including reopening dates, as well as links to information about what each property has done in order to implement social distancing and increase cleanliness.
Please note that we’ve outlined our Preferred Partners amenities at each property where applicable. In order to access these amenities, your stay must be booked by Sea to City Travels so please get in touch!
Additionally, this information was valid at time of publishing, however, things are changing daily so please inquire about the status of each property during the booking process so we can confirm the most up-to-date info on your behalf.
We look forward to planning with and booking for you!

Palm Desert
Hopeful to reopen at the end of August 2020
Thirteen lushly planted acres in a desert climate is probably the most defining and memorable image of one’s stay here. Sense of place is shaped by wandering these paths under arches of green, through tunnels of towering shrubbery that periodically open up to the spread of a lawn, a cluster of tall pampas grass or a court of palms. A fire circle, fountains, fruit trees and herb gardens, hammocks strung between trees, hidden niches: these are some of the finds along the way. Whether exploring the entire weave of walkways throughout the property, or simply following the path that takes you from your room to breakfast at NORMA’S, a drink at the Mini Bar or a poolside chaise, they are their own suspended moments -- heavy with scent in the night air, bright with morning sun overhead, or thick with the heat of late afternoon.
