Best Noble House Hotels & Resorts in California

Hotel Zoe Fisherman's Wharf, which is part of the Noble House Hotels & Resorts family, is located near San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf and offers 221 accommodations. All rooms come equipped with 50-inch flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi access, hand-held garment steamers and minifridges; decor is neutral with tan walls, white linens, light blue patterned carpets and black throw pillows. Outside the rooms, guests can take advantage of the meeting facilities or enjoy a meal in the on-site eatery, Pescatore, an Italian restaurant that specializes in seafood and traditional dishes. But if you're not craving Italian, you'll find plenty of restaurants in the surrounding neighborhood. While a few past guests had positive things to say about this property (they praised its location and were pleasantly surprised by the rooms), others were disappointed with poor service from the staff and erroneous charges after checkout.

For a relaxed, Polynesian atmosphere and access to one of California's only privately owned beaches, consider staying at Kona Kai Resort & Spa. This Noble House property on San Diego's Shelter Island boasts an array of amenities, including an outdoor swimming pool, a marina, a spa and a fitness center. Visitors can also rent bicycles and water sports equipment like paddleboards and kayaks. If you're traveling with kids, past guests recommended taking advantage of the resort's family-friendly amenities, which include "Dive-In Movies" at the pool, seasonal s'mores nights at the beach's fire pits and the Kids Korner craft and game room. (Note: Select activities and services are not covered by the daily $19 resort fee.) When you're hungry, grab a bite to eat at the poolside Tiki Bar or in Vessel Restaurant + Bar, the property's main restaurant. After filling up on locally sourced coastal fare, bed down in one of the resort's guest rooms or suites. Renovated in 2015, the resort's accommodations feature ocean hues (shades of blue and white), pattered carpets and wooden furniture, plus amenities like private balconies or patios, minifridges, flat-screen TVs, complimentary Wi-Fi access and glass-enclosed rain showers.
