L'Auberge Carmel is a new landmark for dining, accommodations and
classic architecture in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea.
Built in 1929, the European-style hotel is located just four blocks from
famous Carmel Beach and an easy stroll to the village's numerous art
galleries, shops and restaurants. Major renovations have transformed the
hotel's 20 guest rooms, entrance and landscaped courtyard.
Luxuriously romantic, the hotel was created for adults to relax, rejuvenate
and nurture relationships. Minimum age for guests is 18 years and older. The
interior decor of guest rooms is rich and pleasing, warm jewel tones accent
the quaint charm of the architecture. Individually designed guest rooms
feature the finest fabrics and linens, enlarged bath areas with radiant
floor heating, some with soaking tubs. It is one of the village's few full
service hotels offering valet parking, room service and highly personalized
guest services.
The highlight of L'Auberge Carmel is its intimate 12-table restaurant,
featuring a 4500-bottle wine cellar. It is the passion of executive chef Tim
Mosblech.
All accommodations include a sumptuous continental breakfast.
