Hotel Carmel is a perfect blend of coastal charm and cozy elegance. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. What I Loved: 🌿 Beautiful Courtyard: The outdoor fire pits and lush greenery created a peaceful retreat, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or winding down in the evening. 🛏️ Comfortable & Stylish Rooms: The decor had a lovely rustic-chic feel, with plush bedding and thoughtful touches that made the space feel both elegant and relaxing. 🍷 Wine & Cheese Hour: A delightful touch! The complimentary wine and cheese in the evening was a great way to unwind and enjoy the ambiance. 🌊 Great Location: Just a short stroll to the charming shops, restaurants, and, of course, the stunning Carmel Beach. It was the perfect base for exploring the town. ✨ Excellent Service: The staff was friendly, attentive, and always ready to offer great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. Overall, Hotel Carmel exceeded my expectations with its charm, comfort, and attention to detail. Whether you’re visiting for a romantic getaway or a relaxing coastal escape, this place is a gem. I’d love to return! 💙🌊

A lovely town full of bars/restaurants boutique shops and galleries. Very walkable if you happen to be young and fit. We really liked Hog’s Breath Inn either for dinner (which was delicious and faultless) or afternoon drinks at the bar and the service was fabulous.

This is a beautiful upmarket town, unspoiled by high rise buildings and bad planning decisions. This was the third time we had visited and it has never disappointed. Quaint houses and shops, clean streets and wonderful beaches. Plenty of on street parking and friendly people. A must visit if you are in Northern California, as is the 17 mile, picturesque, drive between Carmel and Monterey.

Very beautiful and quaint but painfully overpriced as a whole. You can’t get a scoop of ice cream for less than $10. Only go if money is not an object at all. Expect to spend $50+/person for every meal.

Very pretty location with lots of boutique shops and variety of restaurants serving great food. Carmel beach is very beautiful but not for swimming in the sea due to the strong undercurrents. We stayed 1 night which was about right for us as we saw all we wanted to see. If travelling from Monterey, definitely do the 17 mile drive, It was stunning!

A beautiful but expensive city.

A beautiful but expensive city. The vibe is wine tasting, jewelry, art, designer clothing and restaurants with a beach nearby. The quality is good everywhere, with some exceptional locations. If you're looking for more than shopping and dining in a quiet, beautiful area, you may want to look elsewhere.

Carmel and the Monterey Peninsula provide one of California's most impressive gems. The natural beauty of the coast is unique, abundant and memorable. But be forewarned: Once upon a time, Carmel-by-the-Sea was the very picture of "rustic." That charm has morphed into what my partner has described, regarding downtown, as "an amusement park for Silicon Valley brahmins." If you don't know what that means, just be prepared for a show of excessive wealth and commerce, and bring lots of bucks.

From the outside, it looks like your average motel, but the room was the cozier than any of the other hotels I visited in my three week trip. View on the Carmel River from the almost wall sized window, terrace with the same green view. Surely recommended!
