Set on the bluffs above the beautiful coastline of Central California, the Dolphin Bay Hotel & Residences blends comfort, service and style to create a luxurious haven for those who appreciate the very best. Offering not mere rooms, but residences, Dolphin Bay is truly the place that luxury calls home. Guests have a choice of spacious one- or two-bedroom residences, with living and dining rooms, well-equipped gourmet kitchens, walk-in closets, entertainment systems with flat-panel televisions, CD and DVD players and surround-sound.

The Lido Restaurant and Bar, whose centerpiece is a dramatic light sculpture of Murano glass, features California Coastal Cuisine created by Chef Evan Treadwell with an emphasis on locally-produced food and wine. The hotel's spa, La Bonne Vie, likewise draws inspiration from the local terroir for some signature treatments. The property's sweeping ocean views, which can include playful local dolphins and migrating whales, may be enjoyed from the restaurant, terraces and the infinity-pool and Jacuzzi.

Dolphin Bay Hotel & Residences, a member of the exclusive "Small Luxury Hotels of the World," is located in Pismo Beach, midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Within easy reach around San Luis Obispo County are historic missions, Hearst Castle, wildlife sanctuaries, a hundred wineries, antique shops and great golf, making Dolphin Bay an ideal home base for day touring...if you'd ever want to leave.
