Ranked among the top 100 hotels in the world by the Robb Report and No. 16 of the top 50 large city hotels in 2009 by Travel and Leisure magazine, this architectural marvel is complete with a bathtub that fills from the ceiling and the panoramic fairways of the Golf Club, which features the world-renowned Pebble Beach golf course. An intimate fireside library with coffee service for all guests and in-room private bars are just a few of its extraordinary accommodations.
