Hearst Castle - guest bedrooms

The little houses are beautiful, of course, but the best of the guest rooms are in Casa Grande. Both Russ, and our second tour guide Emily, invited us to pick our favourite room from the tour.


This was my first choice. The Celestial Suites in the bell towers. Remember the lattice windows in the towers? These octagonal rooms have huge windows on every wall and are luminous with a rich yellow light.


It's even my favourite ceiling., intricate and light and gold. I would love to be woken by the dawn light in that room and see that ceiling grow brighter with the start of day.

The celestial suite is my favourite, but all the guest rooms are amazing. Selected highlights appear below.

The photo of the celestial suite cannot do it justice. The entire room was covered in a warm gold that matched the intricate ceiling. The afternoon sunlight flowed in through the lattice windows and infused the air in the room with every ounce of heat and color that Morgan intended. These rooms are appropriately positioned at the pinnacles- They are her finest work.
