A Luxurious One-Day Escape
We had the pleasure of staying at this lovely hotel, and even though we were only passing through for a day, it left a lasting impression. My husband joked that we were "moving into the hotel," and I can see why. From the thoughtful check-in cocktails to the beautifully detailed and relaxing shared spaces, everything was perfect. While we didn't get a chance to visit, the cocktail bar in our room was a nice touch. The well-kept grounds, adorned with flowers that filled the air with a lovely scent, added to the charm. My favorite part of the stay? A fabulous champagne breakfast that was simply delightful. I wish we could have stayed longer!

La Playa in Carmel is the perfect getaway! This quaint hotel is beautifully decorated and ideally located, with a lovely vibe that feels both timeless and modern. The grounds are stunning, and the breakfast buffet offers delicious, healthy options. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, making our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, La Playa exceeded all my expectations, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking for a peaceful and charming retreat in Carmel. I’ll definitely be back!

Charming hotel for a wedding venue. Old historic building with updated room. Had a room on the first floor with big picture window providing lots of natural light. Didn’t mind watching people strolling down the street. Blackout drapes were available for privacy. Wedding was beautiful staff did a nice job and the meal was very delicious
