Housed in an 1885 mansion overlooking Richardson Bay, this modern hotel is an 8-minute drive from the Bay Area Discovery Museum.
Elegant rooms are set between the mansion and hillside cottages, and offer flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, Wi-Fi and coffeemakers; some have ocean views. Suites add separate living spaces, fireplaces and/or balconies. Room service is available.
There's a full-service spa and a classic Italian restaurant. The resort fee also includes Wi-Fi, and access to the fitness center and the spa's steam room.
