“The city is bordered to the west by rugged coastline and soft beach, though there are no houses on the beach, and even ocean views are limited, making it less of a “beach vacation” and more of a romantic getaway. L’Auberge Carmel is the ideal place to stay, an intimate Relais & Chateaux property of just 20 rooms, reminiscent of a French farmhouse you’d find tucked away in the vineyards of Burgundy. There’s a Forbes five-star restaurant in the lobby, a small dining room called Aubergine with just 12 tables, which also serves a complimentary breakfast for guests. The rooms themselves are handsomely dressed in masculine earth tones, with courtyard and garden views, quaint touches like delivered homemade cookies, and upscale amenities such as heated bathroom floors. L’Auberge is just a few minutes walk from Ocean Avenue shopping and restaurants and the nearby beach. “
“Opt for this hidden, euro-style stay to win points with your S.O. for its exclusivity. Its a boutique inn built in the 1930s, and has just 20 airy rooms. The real reason, though, that most folks book here is Aubergine, a 12-table restaurant onsite featuring five-star local cuisine and wines from the nearby Carmel Valley. “
