Continental breakfast with French pastries, local coffee, and fresh fruit is served daily from 8-10 AM. The hotel sits eight blocks from Carmel Beach and one block from a city park.

Pros

Ample off-street parking in the heart of the village

Year-round heated pool with accessibility lift

Continental breakfast featuring local bakery items and Carmel Valley Roasting Company coffee

Artist-in-Residence program showcasing local talent through custom murals and artwork

Cons

14 miles from Monterey Airport

Some rooms require street parking

“This family-run hotel charms with its Bavarian aesthetic, a refreshing departure from typical Carmel inns. I particularly appreciate the artful touches, including the work of local artist Marie-Clare Treseder Gorham, and the heated pool is a definite plus. With its central location, it's easy to see why guests return year after year.”
