ALILA OPENS IN BIG SUR

ALILA HOTELS AND RESORTS makes its American debut this month with the opening of Ventana Big Sur, an Alila Resort. Previously the Ventana Inn and Spa, the California property reopens on October 1 following a multimillion-dollar refurbishment by the Singapore-based luxury group. The 59-room hotel is set in 65 hectares of forested grounds overlooking the Pacific and features a revamped spa, two outdoor pools, a new infinity hot tub, Japanese baths and an ocean-view restaurant. Luxury “glamping” has also been added.
