Overview

Since 1929, L'Auberge Carmel has been a beloved fixture in one of California's most established artistic communities, adding European charm to the tiny seaside town south of San Francisco.

Carmel-by-the-Sea is an adorably idiosyncratic little colony on the California coast - invaded by artists for the last several decades, it's a seaside town where dogs have most of the rights you do, trees cannot be uprooted, and Clint Eastwood was once mayor.

Obviously in a place like this, you'd want a unique gem of a hotel in which to check your bags. L'Auberge Carmel is certain to charm your inner bohemian, with its bespoke European dimensions, boisterous courtyard, and the intimate 12-table restaurant, Aubergine.

L'Auberge Carmel shells out of the luxuries that matter - such as its massive 4,500-bottle wine cellar, spacious soaking tubs, and top-of-the-line linens and fabrics draping every room. The staff prides itself on being friendly without being obsequious, intuitive without being in the way.

After wining and dining in Aubergine and socializing with other guests in the courtyard, head out into town and explore Carmel-by-the-Sea's unique galleries and boutiques.

Carmel-by-the-Sea has been a significant hub for artists of all kinds since the turn of the century, boasting relatively low levels of commercial development, scenic seaside views, and highly individualistic architecture.
