La Playa Hotel in Carmel is truly our favorite place to stay. Nothing else compares. From the moment you arrive, you feel wrapped in a level of warmth and sophistication that only La Playa delivers. The hotel effortlessly blends luxury with historic charm, creating an atmosphere that feels both timeless and elevated. Breakfast here is unforgettable. The spread is incredible, and the salmon caper hash browns are absolutely to die for, one of the best dishes we have ever had anywhere. Enjoying it all with ocean views has become one of our favorite traditions. The staff is consistently on point as well: attentive, professional, friendly, and always a step ahead in making sure every detail of your stay is perfect. If you are looking for a place where luxury meets historic sophistication, where every stay feels special and every moment feels relaxed, La Playa is it.

Very expensive for mini-sized room ($1200). We reserved a room with an ocean view and if you stand in the exactly right spot and crane your head—you may see a bit of the ocean. Over-priced and under delivered. Plus—extremely limited parking (good luck finding a spot).
