The historic boutique Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa is perfectly situated in the heart of charming Monterey. Here, you can leave the car behind and take advantage of the central location—favourite local spots such as Old Fisherman’s Wharf and Del Monte Beach are within easy reach, only about a 1 km walk away. At the old pier of Old Fisherman’s Wharf, indulge in a local classic, the ‘shrimp dog’, or satisfy your sweet tooth at one of the many tempting dessert shops. This is also the departure point for most whale-watching tours. If your visit falls between mid-May and September 1st, you can take advantage of the city’s free shuttle service to Old Fisherman’s Wharf. Alternatively, you might continue on foot to Cannery Row, which is 2.3 km from the hotel. For a different perspective, why not hire a bicycle from the hotel and pedal along the paved waterfront cycle path?
Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa is an incredibly charming establishment, with a Spanish-inspired exterior that evokes a relaxed, tranquil atmosphere. When you’re not out exploring Monterey, unwind with a cup of coffee and perhaps a good book in one of the hotel’s lush courtyards. Or treat yourself to a massage in the hotel’s spa, followed by a dip in the outdoor pool and jacuzzi.
The hotel offers 160 rooms in total, each decorated in a classic style with warm colours and charming decorative touches, creating a welcoming, homely atmosphere. Every room comes equipped with a TV, Wi-Fi, a coffee machine, a mini-fridge, and an en suite bathroom.
At the hotel’s own restaurant, Estéban, you can enjoy a delightful dinner made with fresh, local ingredients, offering a menu inspired by Mediterranean and Spanish cuisine in cosy surroundings either indoors or out on the terrace beneath the Californian sky. A favourite among locals, the restaurant was awarded the Diner’s Choice Award in 2024. Breakfast is also served here, available to purchase à la carte. Round off your day with a tempting refreshment – perhaps a classic Red Sangria or a Spanish Gin & Tonic will tempt you.
Parking is available at the hotel for an additional fee (approx. 17 USD per day).
