Casa Palmero at Pebble Beach | World's best golf hotels

"Most people come to this part of the world for one reason: the world-famous Pebble Beach Golf Links course, which stretches along the rocky shoreline. It’s been voted the No 1 public course in the US, and has hosted 6 US Opens. Of the three hotels at Pebble Beach, Casa Palmero is the classiest; once a private home, this 1920’s Spanish Colonial house has 24 elegant rooms surrounding a fountain-filled courtyard. The palette of honey, taupe and carnelian evokes a soothing Med vibe, but it’s the little touches that really make this place stand out, including the dedicated services manager who’ll get in touch before you check in to help with everything from tee times to restaurant reservations.
