Glorietta Bay Inn, San Diego

Just because you're not a millionaire doesn't mean you can't live like one, at least for a few days. Located on Coronado Island, the Glorietta Bay Inn is an elegant 1908 mansion, former home of John Spreckels who once owned the entire island.

Within a few minutes after I arrived, the Glorietta Bay Inn became one of my favorite hotels, with excellent customer service, a great location and terrific views, you may find it's one of yours, too.
