Recent St Regis Monarch Beach Review: "I stayed here for two nights on a well-deserved get-away from the stress trip. Although this is definitely a family hotel, it was relatively quiet and there were plenty of places to escape the kid scene. The staff is extremely well-trained and I found everyone to be helpful, polite and accomodating to the extent possible. When I checked in I was given a ground floor room, not my preference, and they were booked to the gills so the greeter suggested that I try again later when there was less commotion at the check in point and when other guests who had requested room changes had been accomodated there might be a better choice for me (I was late checking in). Later that night, they were able to accomodate my room change request, yes, after I had basically used the ground floor room, and they moved me promptly without any fuss to a nice fourth floor room. The room is well appointed, spacious and luxurious. I faced the garden and still had a partial ocean view, it was quiet though I was near the elevator bay. The spa was a nice retreat, the therapists were experienced and helpful. When check out day came, I didn't want to leave, so the host made accomodation to hold my bags, I finished another three hours at the spa and changed then checked out. I let them clean and prepare the room for the next guest but they kept my room open for charges so that I could enjoy yet another wonderful meal at the hotel restaurant Motiv. The hotel is close to town so it was easy to roll in for a stroll in Dana Point."

Expert Tip
For intimate gatherings, the hotel's wine cellar can be reserved and provides the ultimate dining experience. Guests will marvel at the cellar's unique ambience, where century-old French paved floors, stone walls, mahogany and custom iron furnishings, and more than 17,000 bottles of wine create a distinctively castle-like atmosphere.

    • A short guide to Laguna - South Beaches

    Reality TV portrays Laguna Beach as the land of the young and spoiled. But beneath this veneer is a city rooted in the arts. The Laguna Playhouse is one of the oldest theaters in the West Coast. The city also hosts the annual Festival of the Arts/Pageant of the Masters and the Sawdust Art Festival. West of Laguna Beach, Crystal Cove State Park’s unspoiled beach attracts snorkelers and divers.

    • Location

    The St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort is an enchanted seaside destination that is spread across 172 acres of rolling hills in Dana Point, California. This dreamy Orange County escape enjoys easy access to State Route 1, and is located midway between Los Angeles and San Diego.

    Hotel Features

    In textbook Tuscan form, the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort is punctuated by countless fountains, courtyards and terraces that lend imaginative views of the nearby Pacific Ocean. Complete with an 18-hole golf course, eight tennis courts, a private beach club, an extensive spa and a fitness center, this coastal retreat caters to affluent professionals and main line vacationers who value destination properties rather than ordinary hotels. With multiple outdoor pools and 10 private poolside cabanas, adults can enjoy leisure time in the California sun, while children engage in supervised activities through Camp St. Regis.

    Hotel Rooms

    Evoking a deep sense of luxury and comfort, the Hotel Rooms at St. Regis are a study in contrasts that seduce the eyes and tug at the heart. With ebony wood grains and ivory fabrics, the designers play with themes of balance, while hand-woven carpets and Fili D'Oro Italian linens do their part to punctuate these opulent scenes. The bathrooms are beautifully cast in marble and boast Designer bath products, designer bathrobes, walk-in showers, deep-soaking tubs and double vanities. Other impressive Hotel Rooms details include 32-inch flat- screen televisions, DVD players, Pacific-influenced furniture and private bar menus.
