For more than sixty years, Mother Nature has transformed the rolling hills of North San Diego County into one of the most spectacular and coordinated displays of natural color and beauty anywhere in the world. The nearly fifty acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that make up the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch in Carlsbad, California, are in bloom for approximately six to eight weeks each year - from early March through early May - literally bringing the famous fields back to life. This annual burst of color, which has become part of the area’s local heritage, also is one of nature’s official ways of announcing the arrival of spring here in Southern California.

An Afternoon To Remember

Hosted in our Grand Lobby, surrounded by the beauty of our exquisitely appointed French interiors and the shimmer of our antique crystal chandeliers, an invitation to tea is an invitation to an afternoon steeped in elegance and sweetness. Our harpist will serenade you as you enjoy tea sandwiches from the kitchen of the Westgate Room and a sweet selection of fresh handmade savories, pastries, French macarons and cakes.
