I need a recommendation for a weekend getaway near the SF Bay Area?

I live in San Francisco and would like a recommendation for a place within 2-3 hours that would be a nice Sat/Sun getaway. We just want to relax and have a nice room with nice views and walking areas. Any help would be appreciated. We typically like to stay in 4-5 star hotels.

   Auberge du Soleil in Napa is very peaceful.
   Mayacamas Ranch in Calistoga is rustic and different.
   Claremont Resort is an old school spa, but it is in a pretty hectic area.
   Heavenly Ski Resort has everything you need including shopping and dining.
   I love mudbaths in Calisotga.

   What about Yosemite? I believe the Ahwanee Lodge is 4 or 5 stars. Plenty of nice views and walking areas, and you’ll be beating the annoying summertime tourists.

   I’ve never been, since I’m a 2-3 star guy. But I can recommend the location.

   You can’t beat the Napa Valley. You can hike, go to a spa, eat at wonderful restaurants. ride a bike and of course the number one thing to do drink wine.

   San Jose- Winchester Mystery House and Great Mall outlets in Milpitas.

   Santa Cruz area- 30 mins from San Jose and less than an hour away south of San Francisco
   Santa Cruz Beach Boalkwalk – http://www. beachboardwalk. com/
   The Mystery Spot : http://www. mysteryspot. com/
   Another 20 mins away- The famous Monterey Bay Aquarium/Pier- stay overnight. (Romantic)
   check out the beautiful shore of Carmel to view Pebble Beach.

   Napa Wine Country is about 2 hours north of San Francisco.
   They have wine tour that brings you there form any SF hotels. Visit their outlet and Wines tours. Yummy!
