Los Angeles Bed and Breakfasts Provide Great Weekend Escapes

With the price of gas going sky high and airlines charging extra baggage fees, getting away from it all can be an expensive proposition. L.A. residents don't have to go far to enjoy a weekend in paradise. Los Angeles bed and breakfasts offer convenient locations, as well as romance and plenty of adventure.

Escape to the Beach for a Romantic Retreat

Spend a restful weekend at the beach and the Channel Road Inn. Located in Santa Monica, this Los Angeles bed and breakfast is close to all the beach attractions and just a short drive from posh shops and museums in the city. You can borrow the innkeepers' bicycles or head off on foot to explore Santa Monica with its boardwalk, quirky shops, galleries and restaurants. The inn offers 15 posh rooms, each individually decorated. Many include a fireplace and jetted spa tub, and some offer ocean views. Guests are pampered with full breakfasts, afternoon wine and treats and freshly baked cookies.

Enjoy Surf, Sand, Sea Views in Dana Point

An hour's drive from Los Angeles will take you to the town of Dana Point and the Blue Lantern Inn. This bed and breakfast is situated on a bluff overlooking the Dana Point Harbor. Rooms feature romantic dcor, fireplaces and whirlpool tubs. Add to that a delicious breakfast and afternoon wine and treats, and you are sure to feel pampered. Specialty spa treatments also are available. Guests can walk to several ocean view restaurants, or take a short drive north to the galleries and eclectic shops of Laguna Beach. The Dana Point Harbor offers a variety of shopping and restaurants, as well as whale watching tours, kayaking and sport fishing.

Enjoy Historic Small Town California in Claremont

Claremont Village has great historic California charm, just a few miles from the city in eastern Los Angeles County. You'll find a weekly farmer's market, art galleries, boutiques and restaurants, as well as a historic walking tour that begins at the picturesque train depot. Enjoy it all from Hotel Casa 425, a luxury boutique hotel with spacious, modern guest rooms. The hotel offers a fire-lit lounge, perfect for cocktails and appetizers. There is a fitness room and an outdoor living room with fountains and fire pits, where films often are shown.

Memorable Moments on the Monterey Peninsula

Although a little farther from Los Angeles, the drive up the coast is spectacular and the bed and breakfasts are some of the best you'll find anywhere. So fill up your CD changer, pack some snacks and a camera and head out on the open road. A car journey to the Monterey Peninsula is cheaper than flying almost anywhere, and the memories you'll make will last a lifetime.

The Gosby House, located in the seaside village of Pacific Grove, is a charming, yellow restored Victorian with 22 guest rooms, each with its own personal flair. Tasteful, English Country dcor, beds topped with fluffy comforters and a teddy bear and amenities such as a fireplace or perhaps a window seat create plenty of romantic ambiance. The Carriage Rooms include a fireplace, spa tub and a balcony. Also in Pacific Grove is Green Gables Inn. This wondrous California bed and breakfast features 11 guest rooms in a restored Queen Anne Victorian, and each is special. The spacious Carriage House offers both a fireplace and spa tub. The unique Gable Room has a ladder which leads to a cozy attic room. The Balcony Room offers a stunning ocean view. Guests at both bed and breakfasts are treated to a full breakfast and afternoon wine and hors d'oeuvres.
