About us
Once a luxurious mansion built in 1905 by an artist as a gift to his wife, a member of the Ghirardelli family, for over 100 years La Playa Hotel has been known as the “Grande Dame of Carmel”. Located in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea, La Playa Hotel is just two blocks from the beach, village shops, art galleries and restaurants. Anchoring Carmel’s most prestigious residential neighborhood, guests of the 75-room La Playa Hotel are treated to commanding ocean views and the sounds of the Pacific, award-winning gardens, intimate patios, secluded courtyards, and a tranquil swimming pool. And with over 6,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor function space La Playa Hotel is the premier hotel for meetings, retreats and social events in Carmel-by-the-Sea.
