The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay

Half Moon Bay, United States

The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay

The residence feels like a Scottish clifftop castle as it comes into view, standing right beside the blue expanse of the Pacific Ocean. From the nearby historic fishing village, home to the famous Pumpkin Festival, the grand chimneys and dormer windows proclaim British heritage, while Portuguese influences weave their way into the interiors in ceramics, tapestries, and other Iberian touches that complete a picture of a multifaceted California. The suites offer a masterful blend of indoor and outdoor living, with views of the waves enjoyed from your private terrace, paired with the warmth of a crackling fireplace. It is the same kind of warmth found at the outdoor fire pits on the Ocean Terrace, where you can feel the sea spray, or in the three-course menu crafted by Chef Xisco Simón at Navio, a restaurant whose wood-panelled décor evokes the elegance of a grand ocean liner.

What we like

The Calm

The aptly named Luxury Fire Pit Suite, where crackle meets lapping water.

The Moment

Every evening since the hotel opened in 2001, a bagpiper in a kilt has stepped out to play the sun down.

The Flavour

Indulge in a tasting of varietals from the Santa Cruz Mountains wine region.
