This was a last minute idea… loaded up the car and drove away for the long weekend. Always a a treat to be in Carmel and Hotel Carmel made it twice as nice.

Parking is difficult to find if you arrive late. We really recommend arriving early and finding a spot. The area is extremely walkable so not driving around is not an issue.
