As Our Guide
All the unique charm of the Monterey Peninsula meets here, where indulgently appointed guest rooms offer a beachfront hotel experience on the bay, just steps from the sand and only 60 feet from the water. Enjoy breathtaking sunsets in this central coastal California haven that keeps things local and sustainable. We take care of our guests, our surrounding environment, and each other. We live life to the fullest because we want you to live yours to the fullest, too.

Unparalleled Ocean Views
Rise with a view of the signature Monterey Beach waters from your window, and rest to the rhythmic sound of the waves as they crash against the shore each night.
Most of our rooms feature oceanfront views that look out onto our private beach in Monterey, where the occasional glimpse of dolphins or whales in the distance makes for priceless moments of pure natural beauty.

Pool Days Ahead
Designed for leisurely days under the sun, our pool area is the kind of place you arrive at early on in the day—and don't leave until you absolutely have to. Choose a lounge chair and bliss out, go for a refreshing dip, or enjoy a little bit of both while you work on your tan.
