​Last week we had the great pleasure to visit the The Rowan Palm Springs by Kimpton Hotels. Luckily for us, The Rowan is just blocks away from AHR Site Selection Solution office in Downtown Palm Springs, CA. Just today it's been announced that The Rowan has been selected by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the 102 best new hotels in the world - "The Hot List" and one of 10 in California.

Whether you're in from nearby LA or elsewhere in the world, the Rowan Palm Springs is a spectacular destination in itself.

Grande Colonial - La Jolla

Setting, Historic Charm, Service

April  2018
The Grande Colonial is truly a one of a kind, charming historic hotel in one of California's most elite coastal towns.  It's seaside La Jolla location, with amazing seaside vistas and abundant sea life is minutes away by foot, with many rooms enjoying an ocean view. The ornate details of the 1913 architecture are something that no new hotel could hope to offer today - giving it an authentic Grande vibe. Just outside the hotel's entrance: excellent and important art galleries and popular restaurants for all price points. Numerous jewelers and real estate offices selling multi-million dollar homes offer a clue as to the elite, yet warm and approachable reputation of this area.

One of the great views at the historic hotel.

Ron Robertson and Leo Lopez - Director of Sales at the Grande Colonial

The spectacular coast of La Jolla is truly breathtaking, and a perfect reason to book your group meeting at the Grande Colonial - minutes by foot from coastal trails, tidal pools, seals and pelicans.
