(More customer reviews)The moment I opened this book I wanted to leap in my ragtop, pick up a lover, then drive up the coast and indulge in one of the gorgeous hotels. The eye-catching cover and lavish, crisp photographs are top-class and bespeak the quality of each hotel selected. Whether it's a sexily trendy city hotel, such as San Francisco's Argent Hotel, or Cambria's dreamily intimate Blue Whale Inn, Tom Wilmer has condensed California's most enchanting inns and resorts into a dream list to suit every mood and occasion.
Reviewed with a professional travel writer's discerning eye for detail, "Romancing the Coast" is also superbly written. Wilmer manages to magically capture the ambience and essence of each property--the mood, the setting, the dining experience--while treating his readers to intriguing anecdotal and historical snippets. Light-hearted yet authoritative, it's also a handily sized, flexible, compact guide that feels just right in one's hands (a bit like my lover).
Anyone wanting to savor the joy of intimacy with someone special--and somewhere special--should buy this book. Whatever your indulgence, it has the perfect recipe for the perfect fling up the coast!
