The Resort at Pelican Hill

Why it's in the collection

Because the hotel and its spa both hold five-star standing, and it is the only address in the collection that pairs that standing with 36 holes of Tom Fazio golf and villas with a clubhouse of their own.

• Opened in 2008 on 504 coastal acres above Crystal Cove, built in a 16th-century Italian Renaissance style after Andrea Palladio.
• Bungalow rooms of 847 square feet, Bungalow Suites of 1,639, and two- to four-bedroom Villas served by their own Villa Clubhouse.
• Thirty-six holes of Tom Fazio golf on the Ocean North and Ocean South courses, and the Coliseum Pool, one of the largest circular pools in the world.
• Pelican Grill & Bar, the Coliseum Pool & Grill, The Great Room lobby lounge and the Caffe & Market; The Spa at Pelican Hill holds five-star standing of its own.
