Hotels in California, United States

California is a state on the US West Coast with a Mediterranean climate along the coast and alpine conditions in the mountains, making it famous for both beaches and ski resorts. In winter, you can ski at Lake Tahoe where temperatures average 30-40°F (-1 to 4°C), while summer is perfect for surfing at Malibu with water temperatures around 65°F (18°C). For a different landscape, visit the redwood forests in Northern California or the desert of Death Valley in spring before summer highs exceed 120°F (49°C).
