CALIFORNIA: THE ULTIMATE LUXURY WEST COAST DISCOVERY

We’re big fans of iconic road trips, and when we think of California, we can’t help but picture ourselves cruising along Highway One, seeing the sunset in the wing-mirror, humming along to The Beach Boys. Sound like a dream luxury vacation? Then read on. Our North America travel experts have created this soulful, all-encompassing Californian trip that will have you exploring like a local and experiencing landscapes so stunning your jaw will drop. Setting off from San Francisco, you’ll sip wine in Napa Valley before experiencing the wilderness of Yosemite. Then, you’ll cruise south on the iconic Highway One towards Santa Barbara and Los Angeles for a final few days exploring the City of Angels. We’ll give you the inside scoop on the best roads to turn down for the best views, the must see pit-stops and hole you up in properties that will leave you wanting more.  And if you feel like shifting it up a gear, then why not go true American style and throttle down the coast on a Harley Chopper.

SAN FRANCISCO IN STYLE

With the downtown St Regis San Francisco as your first resting place before the open road calls, drop your bags and enjoy one of our favorite US cities for a day or two.  From the iconic Golden Gate Bridge to the lesser-known stores and restaurants in the heart of the city, relax and take in the San Francisco sights. We’re on hand to help pick that perfect part of town for a bite or to share some of the hippest bars, galleries and secret viewpoints. For a city tour with a twist, we’ll arrange for you to explore the sights by electric bike. Starting at Fisherman’s Wharf you’ll head along the waterfront to Fort Point where you’ll then cross over the Golden Gate Bridge. A must when visiting San Francisco is getting lost in Chinatown, the oldest Chinatown in North America. Here our guides will show you the best places to taste Dim Sum, moon cakes and other eastern fare.
