Oct 17, 2009

One of the best hotels in Bodega Bay, the Bodega Bay Lodge and Spa is just off the Pacific Coast Highway near San Francisco with ocean views, pool and fitness center.

There's a good choice of hotels in Bodega Bay, an hour north of San Francisco on the Pacific Coast Highway, and one of the best is the Bodega Bay Lodge and Spa. In addition to the full-service spa, the pool, and the fine dining gourmet Duck Club Restaurant, every room has superb ocean views.

Bodega Bay, California Hotel with Ocean Views

Those ocean views at the Bodega Bay Lodge and Spa are really impressive. Nearby are the bluffs of Bodega Head, and across a landscape filled with wildlife in the bird sanctuary is the Doran Beach State Park.

Beyond that is the Pacific Ocean, and since the hotel faces west, there are fabulous sunset views. Guests can relax on their balconies listening to the song of birds and the croaking of frogs, as the skies on some nights turn into an amazing light show of vivid blues, salmon pinks and dazzling golds.

Duck Club Restaurant at the Bodega Bay Lodge and Spa

Dinner and breakfast at the Bodega Bay Lodge are served in the Duck Club Restaurant, which looks out at the ocean. The evening atmosphere is one of casual elegance, while the focus of the menu is on sustainably farmed, local produce.

The chef sources his food from organic farmers, family ranches, artisan cheese makers, and others to produce his take on Sonoma Coastal Cuisine. Dinner might start with locally farmed oysters with Champagne mignonette, followed by sourdough-crusted California halibut. The menu also names the ranches that the local meats come from.

Breakfast is no run-of-the-mill dining experience either. Options might include a crab and asparagus omelette, or Eggs Benedict with a mouth-watering Hollandaise sauce. Even the basics like coffee and orange juice are extraordinarily tasty.

Bodega Bay Lodge and Spa Accommodation

The Bodega Bay Lodge and Spa has 84 guest bedrooms, with the buildings designed so that every room has a panoramic ocean view. Top-range rooms include the Whirlpool Rooms, which naturally feature a two-person whirlpool bath, while the Ocean Suites are the ultimate luxury Bodega Bay accommodation.

Of the remaining room options, the Bodega Bay Upper Rooms are the most popular, providing the best views of all. All of the rooms are spacious, comfortable and tastefully furnished with top-quality furniture and amenities.

The hotel has its own swimming pool, with an enclosed whirlpool next to it. There's a full-service spa, fitness center, sauna, landscaped gardens, and a complimentary wine hour from 5-6pm every day. Don't be late!
