LocationThe 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.

Guestrooms. Evoking a deep sense of luxury and comfort, the guestrooms 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 guestroom details include 32 inch flat screen televisions, DVD players, Pacific influenced furniture and private bar menus.

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.
