Come unwind after work and relax and reconnect with old and meet new friends. GOLD (Graduates of the Last Decade) alumni (W'15 and WG15 and later) and current students most welcome. Enjoy a drink or two while soaking in the iconic beach views from this iconic hotel and resort.
About the venue
Perched atop a seaside bluff, surrounded by panoramic views of the Pacific and the sandy shores of Salt Creek Beach below, The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel is a coastal haven of new experiences. Located halfway between LA and San Diego along the coast, our Dana Point resort awakens the senses with its vibrant beachfront locale and celebrated Five Diamond service. Sprawling shoreline vistas create awe-inspiring memories from the moment of arrival. Dine on Southern California coastal cuisine, explore your surfside surroundings on an eco-adventure, or soothe with a spa escape at our Salt Creek Beach hotel. The California coast is calling.
