As the first luxury coastal beach resort in Orange County, The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel has maintained its position as a top California destination with ease. With a lighter approach to luxury than many hotels at this level, the property shows the playful nature of the SoCal lifestyle while keeping true to The Ritz-Carlton brand of lavish amenities, gorgeous guestrooms and suites. For the last 28 years straight, the resort has earned AAA Five Diamond status as well as a long list of other accolades and awards.

For comfort and convenience, every guestroom and suite at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel comes standard with a down comforter and duvet, Egyptian cotton sheets, terry robes, a make-up mirror, and access to broadband Internet. On those nights where guests might just want to stay in and relax, rooms also include a 42-inch LG HDTV, mini fridge, iPod dock, evening turndown service and 24-hour room service dining. A number of the accommodations now have an outdoor fireplace, allowing visitors to cozy up to the warmth while the chill of the Pacific breezes through the sunset.

As affluent travelers have come to expect from Ritz-Carlton suites, the Laguna Niguel property offers wonderfully comfortable, spacious living, dining and sleeping areas giving way to breathtaking ocean vistas. Booking one of these suites means preferred appointment privileges at The Ritz-Carlton Spa, preferred seating at the on-site restaurant Raya, errand service (including shopping), and a dedicated personal assistant throughout the course of the stay.

What sets The Ritz-Carlton apart from other luxury competitors is The Ritz-Carlton Club Level. Featuring many special services and privileges, The Club Level experience offers the comfort, convenience and privacy of a hotel within a hotel. The Club Level features a dedicated concierge who attends to guest’s individual needs in a well-appointed, relaxed lounge environment. With culinary offerings throughout the day and access to a computer station — it is the ideal place to conduct business, plan a family outing or simply unwind.

Three brilliantly conceived dining venues can be found on property: Raya, featuring pan-Latin coastal cuisine from the mind of acclaimed Chef Richard Sandoval; enoSTEAK, a steakhouse that prides itself on the highest-quality beef and local organic produce; and 180blu, serving small plates from the kitchen at Raya while diners take in panoramic views of the Pacific and listen to soothing live music.

Coffee and pastry lovers will enjoy The Market Place, where gourmet coffees are crafted by expert baristas and fresh sandwiches can be taken on a peaceful picnic overlooking the cliffs off Dana Point. Bar Raya provides top-shelf spirits and creative cocktails alongside tasty appetizers and a welcoming, yet sophisticated atmosphere.

An on-site spa gives guests a place to relax with a full menu of treatments and therapies as well as a full selection of salon options. From coloring one's hair to Beach Stone therapy, The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Laguna Niguel will help visitors achieve blissful moments without a thought of the outside world. Guests can enjoy complimentary daily yoga and Pilates classes while taking in the breathtaking ocean views.

With its prime location between San Diego and Los Angeles, guests also have easy access to world-class attractions and sights like Disneyland, SeaWorld, Hollywood Boulevard, and sparkling, sandy beaches—but only if they can pull themselves away from the alluring beauty of Dana Point, Laguna Niguel and the rest of Orange County.

A trip to Southern California is ideal any time of year, where consistently sunny weather will beckon you to the surf and sand, and The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel is just waiting to be your home away from home.
