People across the United States have heard of the award winning Ojai Valley Inn & Spa. It's on Conde Nast's Gold List, Travel & Leisure has rated it one of the Top Hotel Spas in the US, and it's also won the AAA Five Diamond Award. I love the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa as well. The golf course is first class, the luxury day spa is ultimately pampering and relaxing (Shape magazine rated it the #1 Hotel Spa as well), and of course, it's in Ojai. This charming small town is a great getaway spot for travelers wishing to take a step back and enjoy a slower lifestyle while on vacation.
The Ojai Valley Inn & Spa is a truly resort hotel. It's less than 40 miles inland from the upscale tourist centered town of Santa Barbara, with nearby hiking opportunities. It has some of the comfiest pillows I've ever slept on in a hotel (not a big deal to you, maybe, but a big deal to me). From January to March 13, 2007, the resort is offering a special rate, starting at $240 per room. If your winter travel plans include a visit to Ojai, I recommend staying at this resort. To take advantage of this special rate, mention "SpecialGuest" as the promotional code when you make your reservations.
