All of the 48 guest rooms in this exceptional oceanfront property boast spectacular views, plush furnishings and modern amenities such as iHome stereos, wireless internet access and flat-screen TVs. But those who stay here are even more impressed with the Pacific's Edge Restaurant for its jaw-dropping vistas seen outside its floor-to-ceiling windows.

Guests are also impressed by the staff's hospitality and available babysitting services. You'll find this Hyatt in the picturesque town of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.

The excellent meals at the inn's Pacific's Edge restaurant ($$) are a blend of French and California cuisine. Even if you don't dine here, order a cocktail and appetizers in the ocean-view Sunset Lounge.
