Go to Big Bear then for a wonderful Winter Resort.
It depends what you mean by winter resort . If you want snow, you can go up to Big Bear (best choice), or Lake Arrowhead and hope we get snow. It s not guaranteed by any means.The Palm Springs area has the warmest weather overall.If you want the most to do, then stay in the LA area. Since LA is so spread out, there is no single place that is close to EVERYTHING. Most people who come here tend to stay in Hollywood, Santa Monica, or Anaheim. In Hollywood, I recommend the Orchid Suites, Hollywood Celebrity Hotel, or Holiday Inn Walk of Fame, all near Hollywood and Highland. Another one is the Best Western Sunset Plaza. In Santa Monica, the Holiday Inn Santa Monica is close to the pier and reasonably priced. In Anaheim, I recommend the Howard Johnson (HoJo) Anaheim, and the Candy Cane Inn. There is also a nice place in Burbank called the Best Western Media Center, very close to Warner, NBC, and Universal Studios.
There is so much. Do you like the mountains with snow and skiing? (Big Bear, Arrowhead etc) or the desert (Palm Springs) where it is warm and hotels have swimming pools. How about San Diego around the water, zoo, clubs, etc. LA and Hollywood have lots to do. Have you considered Death Valley, Mt.Whitney and Sierra Nevada, June Lake. How about Tahoe (too far north?), or drop over Vegas. Have you been to Santa Barbara and Ventura? Gorgeous pier and art and craft show on Sundays.
A perfect place for you.http://wsoctv.usa.oodle.com/view/private��
