My wife and I with another couple enjoyed our 3 nights at L'Auberge Carmel. The hotel is conveniently located and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was exceptional throughout our stay and we especially enjoyed Madisen's friendly and attentive table service during our morning breakfast daily. Our group unanimously agreed that we will stay at L'Auberge again if we have the opportunity.

While not related to the Auberge in Napa and other places, this is a special inn. The included breakfast is phenomenal - the Aubergine restaurant is a 2 Michelin star after all. Sparkling and still water are included in your room, Matouk bath sheets, fabulous bed linens, etc - very luxe. They bring you fantastic cookies at night. Valet parking is free. My only suggestion is that they could use some fans. We were in room 14 and despite the cool Outdoors, it wasn’t super cold inside.

I enjoyed this past summer an extended weekend with my girlfriends at L’Auberge Carmel in Carmel, California. From the moment we arrived, the cozy ambiance welcomed us. Our comfortable rooms made us feel at home, and we gathered in the garden patio, enjoying local wine and sharing laughter. The next morning, we indulged in a delicious brunch at the inn’s restaurant, savoring fresh, local dishes while catching up. Afterward, we explored the quaint streets of Carmel, visiting unique shops and art galleries. One afternoon, we took a stroll on the beach, collecting seashells and capturing photos of the stunning coastline, especially during sunset. Evenings at L’Auberge were special, filled with delectable dinners that enhanced our bond as friends. On our last day, we treated ourselves to spa sessions, enjoying massages that helped us unwind. As we packed to leave, we felt grateful for the unforgettable memories we created together. We promised this getaway would not be our last. The laughter and beauty of L’Auberge Carmel made it a weekend we would always cherish.

Great location for Carmel by the sea getaway. Delightful intimate center courtyard capturing a French boutique hotel. Our first floor room overlooked the courtyard which we enjoyed however can be noisy as outdoor breakfast set up starts at 8:00 AM. There is a limited breakfast menu included with the room during our two night stay with option to dine in room or outside. The breakfasts were delicious, we especially enjoyed the blueberry compote. One morning the bacon was burned and they graciously brought more bacon. Hotel offers cosy bar area with fireplace creating nice ambiance for after dinner drink. We dined at Aubergine which was a culinary adventure and highlight of our stay. Overall staff was courteous. Monica at the front desk was welcoming and responsive to any requests.
