I`m staying at the most amazing resort in San Francisco right now and I just had to tell you about it! It`s called Cavallo Point Lodge and it`s a luxury resort hotel in the heart of Golden Gate National Parks. The setting is idyllic. Tucked away from the city proper, almost underneath the Golden Gate Bridge, this place gives ‘getaway` a whole new meaning. The historic rooms are restored, turn-of-the-century Colonial Revival buildings and they`re a stunning union of old and new. Original features combine with modern decor elements to create a space that`s got both history and a contemporary design aesthetic. And, with an eye to environmentally-friendly living (fine organic linens and cotton towels, certified organic cotton robes and slippers, bamboo wood furnishings and recycling bins), this is the kind of place it`s good to support. Walking into the bright and spacious rooms feels like walking into your own home … everything from the perfectly chosen paint colours to the warm and welcoming accessories say ‘home`, not sterile hotel. I haven`t seen a fraction of what this place has to offer yet (there`s a spa, a cooking school) and already, I know I`m eager to return. I felt a real joie-de-vivre on arrival here and I`m excited to explore. I hope you have the opportunity to do so, too!
