Hotels in California, United States of America

California stretches along the US West Coast with a Mediterranean climate: summers are warm and dry (70-80F / 21-27C along the coast) while winters are mild and rainy (50-60F / 10-16C). The state is famous for Hollywood's film studios in Los Angeles, tech innovation in Silicon Valley, and dramatic natural wonders like Yosemite's granite cliffs and the Pacific Coast Highway's ocean views. In summer, you can surf at Malibu's beaches or hike in the Sierra Nevada, while winter brings snow sports in Lake Tahoe and fewer crowds in Napa Valley's wine country.
