The laid-back, picturesque California seaside village of Carmel-By-The-Sea has something to offer regardless of the season, from great dining and white-sand beaches to eclectic shopping and culinary tours. Lodging options have just grown with the opening of three lovely new boutique properties — Carmel Beach Hotel and two locations of Le Petit Pali. Plus, renovations are underway at two classic and beloved local spots: La Playa Carmel (soon to be La Playa Hotel) and Carmel Lodge (soon to be Stilwell Hotel).

“We are thrilled to see our hoteliers reinvesting in their properties so they can provide a new level of comfort and amenity for guests to Carmel-by-the-Sea,” said Amy Herzog, executive director, Visit Carmel. “The blend of relaxed luxury and the town’s timeless charm creates an irresistible allure for travelers seeking an enriching escape by the breathtaking Pacific coast.”
