Three international soccer teams have chosen California as their base camp for the FIFA World Cup this summer. Austria, Switzerland and Qatar will set up in the Golden State ahead of the blockbuster tournament in June, with the sides having games at stadiums across the West Coast. But their choice of hotels range wildly, with Austria going all out at the Ritz-Carlton Bacara in Santa Barbara, costing up to $4,000 per room per night, while Qatar opted for the cheaper $400 a night Courtyard Marriott nearby.
