A SANTA MONICA ORIGINAL
In the heart of Santa Monica, close to the Santa Monica Beach, the Hotel Carmel welcomes guests with classic Southern California hospitality. Steps away from world class shopping, fine dining, and the historic Santa Monica Pier, the Hotel Carmel has been a favorite with Santa Monica visitors since 1924.
SANTA MONICA BEACH
The hotel is just a block from Santa Monica beach and is easy to reach from both the Santa Monica Freeway and the Pacific Coast Highway.
THIRD STREET PROMENADE
Santa Monica’s lively Third Street Promenade, featuring thirty city blocks of entertainment, retail, and dining, is just a block away from Hotel Carmel.
SANTA MONICA PIER
The Santa Monica Pier is also a block away from the Hotel Carmel in downtown Santa Monica. Built in 1909, the pier features a ferris wheel, a carousel, and fishing.
OUR AWESOME ROOMS
Experience Hotel Carmel’s history when you enter the lobby; a designated stop on the Santa Monica historic walking tour. High ceilings, a tiled floor, dramatic columns and a classic fireplace capture the gracious Spanish revival elements of the nineteen twenties.
THINGS TO DO IN SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA
The hotel is across the street from Santa Monica Place Mall, anchored by Bloomingdales and Nordstrom, and features world class retailers such as Barney’s, Tory Burch, Tiffany & Company, Nike, Coach, Burberry, Louis Vuitton, and now features the Cheese Cake Factory and the Arc Light Cinema.
