A Serene Sanctuary in Carmel-by-the-Sea

Just blocks from Ocean Avenue, Tradewinds Carmel offers a tranquil escape that feels worlds away. Originally built in 1959 and beautifully renovated, the boutique hotel draws inspiration from Japanese, Balinese, and Chinese design traditions to create a serene, transportive retreat. The courtyard garden invites lingering with cascading fountains, bamboo, flowering ginger, and a glowing fire pit. Guest rooms continue the sense of calm with soothing in-room fountains, imported kimono robes, and plush linens. Select rooms feature fireplaces and balconies with views stretching toward Point Lobos and the Pacific. The shops, galleries, and restaurants of Carmel-by-the-Sea are a short stroll away.
