It was in front of the stunning scenery of Big Sur that Henry Miller said he learnt to pray. The little village of artists, Carmel-by-the-Sea, is the ideal base to marvel at these immense cliffs that seem to plunge down into the ocean. Halfway between San Francisco and the coast of Santa Barbara, inhabited by seals, whales and other marine mammals, Carmel – where Clint Eastwood was once mayor – will charm you with its many art galleries and pebble beaches. This romantic hotel was built in 1929 and is ideally located in the heart of the village, and a pleasant short walk away from the famous Carmel Beach. Interior designer Kathleen Fink has decorated the hotel with the most beautiful antiques and fabrics from Europe. Delicious cuisine, a wine cellar with over 4,500 bottles and the superb massages will give this address a special place in your heart.
