Rancho Santa Fe, CA

There's not a thread out of place at this hotel near San Diego. Let us gush: Amazing iced tea at check-in. A suite so large you could move in, like, for life. A great pool and gym. And extraordinary service, as evidenced by the "melt-your-heart turndown" (robes, water, a stuffed animal). For tennis fans, there are 18 courts and pros on staff. $490/$578; 49 suites; ranchovalencia.com
