Amenity highlights:
Some employees have worked at the hotel since its opening, for almost two decades, which translates to experienced professional service.

Just 5.5 miles from the Ritz-Carlton is the Mission San Juan Capistrano, founded 200 years ago and site of the famous return of the swallows celebration in March.
