The perfect spot to explore the rugged coast or play world-class golf- Carmel-by-the- Sea has retained the charm that has made it as unique today as when it was originally founded as an artist colony more than 100 years ago. A natural resting point on a Los Angeles to San Francisco road trip-Carmel will delight you with its whimsical architecture-eclectic shops and amazing galleries. This historic hotel- designed by famed architect Albert Farr and recently renovated-is decorated in a European style and ideally located in the heart of the village-just a short walk from pristine Carmel Beach.
