About the Hotel
The historic Mission Ranch sits on 22 acres with spectacular views of Point Lobos, Carmel River Beach and the Pacific Ocean. Once one of the first dairies in California, the rich history of this 1800’s ranch was preserved and restored by former Carmel Mayor, Clint Eastwood. A longtime Carmel resident, Clint Eastwood rescued this landmark resort from condo developers, and renovated the entire property to provide a unique resort experience. The Inn now consists of 31 hotel rooms located within ten buildings on the property.

Reviews for Mission Ranch Hotel and Restaurant
Lovely location!
We’ve stayed at mission Ranch several times. It is a lovely location and comfortable rooms. Some rooms are much better than others. Last time we stayed in the quadraplex. It was lovely. My major complaint about The Mission Ranch is the quality of the food in the restaurant. Such a lovely location the restaurant begs to be better. I do wish they would offer a healthier, lighter, more sophisticated, contemporary fare. We will return to the hotel but not to the restaurant.

Another wonderful stay
We came for a couple nights as we were celebrating our 44th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful time. We found the service first rate with friendly helpful staff. Room was immaculate and comfortable. Restaurant is always busy, but service was fast and the food delicious. Setting is peaceful and beautiful.

Carmel-by-the-Sea
While on a yoga retreat in Carmel, we had dinner at Mission Ranch Restaurant and it was such a memorable experience. The views are absolutely beautiful, the food was delicious, and the service was wonderful from start to finish. They don’t take reservations, so be prepared for a bit of a wait—but it’s worth it. We spent some time at the bar enjoying cocktails while listening to a live piano player, which made the whole experience feel even more special. If you’re in Carmel-by-the-Sea, I would definitely recommend this spot for dinner. I haven’t stayed at the hotel yet, but it’s officially on my list!

Hidden gem of a place
What a hidden gem of a place. The grounds we were rustic and beautiful with sea views and crashing waves in the distance. Although the hotel rooms are rustic and plain, they were clean and enjoyable. The restaurant was excellent and everything we had was great. I had their halibut and prime rib meals and the portions were generous but pricey. The breakfast was very good with excellent service. I highly recommend this place.
