The Pacific Hospitality Group, LLC (PHG) has announced the launch of the newly-formed Meritage Collection. With properties in Napa, Newport Beach, Santa Barbara, and La Jolla, the collection comprises a total of 1,044 guestrooms and suites.
A former equestrian estate, the Estancia La Jolla Hotel and Spa spreads over nine acres of gardens and Spanish Revival architecture. Amenities include the Mustangs and Burro patio-highlighted by a brick fireplace-and a spa. In Newport Beach, Balboa Bay Resort is the only waterfront resort in town and boasts marina views, a spa, and waterfront dining at the First Cabin.
Bacara Resort and Spa, located in Santa Barbara, features 354 guestrooms and suites-each with a private, ocean or garden-view balcony. Additional features include a wellness center, four-story spa, three infinity pools, four restaurants and lounges, and a 12,000-bottle wine cellar and tasting room.
Napa Valley’s Meritage Resort and Spa features a Tuscan-inspired property with its own vineyard and tasting room. Complementing the vineyard is Trinitas Cellars, providing a variety of California-style wines.
“We’re looking forward to applying our talent and passion for the hospitality industry in this very special collection,” says Steve Arnold, president and COO of Pacific Hospitality Group. “We are very proud of this luxurious collection that embodies the best of what California has to offer, from fine dining and unsurpassed recreation to the wonders of nature and cultural tradition.”
