Livin' Like A Movie Star
Mission Ranch
Proprietor: Clint Eastwood

Location: Carmel, California, USA

Despite being 79 and working harder than ever as director and actor, Clint Eastwood finds time to run Carmel's Mission Ranch Hotel in one of California's picturesque enclaves. Well, we can't see him fluffing pillows and roaming its corridors with a feather duster, but the one-time dairy farm is definitely Clint's baby. He bought it in 1986, rescuing it from being transformed into condominiums just as he has rescued many a damsel in distress during his career. According to Frommer's, "It's the views, quality food, and merry atmosphere that make the place special." Although the chance of seeing The Man With No Name doesn't go amiss either.
