When it comes to choosing a place for a truly relaxing and unplugged getaway, many travelers won’t settle for anything less than the absolute best. And if that sounds like you, then you’re in luck, because this hotel just outside the city has officially been named one of the best in the world.

The prestigious travel publication Travel + Leisure recently released its annual awards, voted by readers and globetrotters alike. The rankings were based on the responses of 180,000 readers who made their choices based on several criteria, including rooms and facilities, location, service, food, and overall value. The final result is a definitive list compiling the 100 best worldwide.

Among the top 15 hotels on the list is this one-of-a-kind California stay: The Inn at Mattei’s Tavern, Auberge Resorts Collection Originally established in 1886 as a stagecoach stop, the inn has been thoughtfully restored to blend its storied past with modern comforts in the quaint town of Los Olivos, which make this palace a favorite among travelers.

Guests can stay in cozy guestrooms or cottage-style rooms surrounded by old palm trees. Each room has white wooden walls, local art, and exposed brick, with most offering a patio or terrace to enjoy the outdoors.

To relax, visitors can go to the Lavender Barn spa, which offers treatments inspired by the seasons. Other amenities include a gym, movement studio, pool, outdoor fire pits, herb garden, room service, and a gift shop. The inn also hosts special events like monthly wine dinners, food and drink tastings, and art shows.
