Fodor's Expert Review La Playa Carmel
Camino Real at 8th Ave., Carmel, California, 93921, USA
A historic complex of lush gardens and Mediterranean-style buildings, La Playa has light and airy interiors done in Carmel Bay beach-cottage style. Norwegian artist Christopher Jorgensen built this property's original structure in 1905 for his bride, a member of the Ghirardelli Chocolate clan. Some rooms are small but comfortable; some have views of gardens or the ocean. Rates include a daily champagne brunch and afternoon sangria.
PROS
- historical restaurant and bar
- manicured gardens
- two blocks from the beach
CONS
- four stories (no elevator)
- busy lobby
- some rooms are on the small side
