Lobby of Carmel Inn & Suites with a fireplace, carved settees, a stained-glass floor lamp and rose valances

A country inn with a French accent

The lobby sets the tone: a fireplace, carved settees and a stained-glass lamp. The rooms carry it on with damask wallpaper, floral valances and antique-style furniture, and each room type has a look of its own.

We are independently owned, not part of a chain, and we are a short walk from nearly everything in the village.

  • Private baths finished in inlaid marble or granite
  • Custom-made bedding and antique furnishings
  • Ceiling fan and electric wall heater in every room
  • Non-smoking throughout

Good to know before you book

What time are check-in and check-out?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM and check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you need to arrive early or leave late, ask the front desk ahead of time and we will try to arrange it.

Is there parking?

Yes. We have a parking lot at the inn, first come, first served. It does not fit every car, so when it is full guests park on the street nearby.

Do the rooms have air conditioning?

No. Carmel stays cool by the ocean, and every room has a ceiling fan and an electric wall heater.

Is there an elevator?

No. The inn has two floors reached by outdoor stairs. If you would like a ground-floor room, tell us when you book and we will do our best.

Are pets allowed?

We are not a pet-friendly property. Service animals are always welcome.

Can I cancel my reservation?

Standard reservations are fully refundable until 3:00 PM, seven days before arrival, unless your confirmation says otherwise. Prepaid advance bookings follow the terms shown when you book.

How do I get the best rate?

Book on this site or call (831) 624-1900. Booking direct saves up to 10% off our regular rates, and we match lower prices you find elsewhere for the same stay.
