Tradewinds Carmel

Carmel-by-the-Sea is riddled with small charming boutique style accommodations. All of them are unique, but the Tradewinds I find is the most modern and updated as far as design aesthetic goes within a reasonable nightly rate. The rooms are updated, the property is minimal with a buddha fountain and outdoor tables if you want to enjoy a glass of wine or your hotel breakfast, but a majority of your stay should be visiting the beaches and walking about the town.

Spacious, welcoming, and beautifully decorated rooms. Gorgeous Zen garden patio areas. Free onsite parking is limited but free street parking surrounds the property. The location was perfect for an easy walk down to Ocean Ave (main strip) and surrounding shops, cafes, etc. The walk uphill was a small struggle, but there were plenty of places to stop along the way and peruse or rest on a bench. Complimentary variety of continental breakfast items delivered by basket to your door (for every full day stay) was a surprise and pleasant touch. Complimentary ice water and flavored ice tea was also available for guests in the lobby. We absolutely enjoyed our quiet and relaxing getaway and look forward to visiting again.

The location was within walking distance to so many restaurants, stores and the beach! It was a short drive to the entrance of the scenic 17 mile drive. The delicious breakfast delivery in the morning was such a nice start to our day. Every single person on staff was friendly and welcoming.

The location is great. The staff was inviting and kind. The onsite parking was a bonus. The patio and glass sliding door was nice in the evenings when it cooled down. Everything was very clean. 🙏🏽 Breakfast delivery was also a lovely perk.

It's very clean and comfortable. We really love the fireplace.
