L'Auberge Carmel | Intimate luxury Monterey Peninsula Hotel in Carmel by the Sea

A Luxury Carmel Hotel
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 luxury 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 into a romantic Carmel setting.

Luxuriously romantic, the Carmel hotel was created for adults to relax, rejuvenate and nurture relationships—the perfect Carmel escape getaway. 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 Carmel’s few full service luxury hotels offering valet parking, room service and highly personalized guest services.

The highlight of L'Auberge Carmel is its intimate 12-table restaurant, Aubergine, featuring a 4500-bottle wine cellar. It is the passion of Executive Chef Christophe Grosjean.

All accommodations include a sumptuous continental breakfast.
