Mar Monte Hotel, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

Between mountain peaks and the Pacific, Mar Monte Hotel, by Hyatt, California, places incentive and business groups steps from the sand, sea, and sights of this favorite haven of the well-heeled. Guests awake in 173 accommodations?some with ocean views and balconies or patios?featuring high-speed Internet access, high-definition televisions, a microwave, and refrigerator.

The day’s agenda may include enjoying the sun poolside, some sensory immersion at the spa, the endorphin rush from the fitness center’s seasonal outdoor boot camp, or the epicurean enticements of Bistro Eleven Eleven and its lounge. When work comes before play, planners have 10,000 square feet of meeting space?divided into seven meeting areas?holding up to 250 attendees. Afterward, there’s always the array of alfresco adventures to be found at the local beaches, mountains, and wine region.
