L'Auberge Carmel

Independent (Relais & Châteaux) · European-style village inn · Carmel-by-the-Sea, about 26 miles north of central Big Sur

A 20-room Relais & Châteaux inn tucked into the storybook village of Carmel-by-the-Sea, walkable to galleries, boutiques and the beach. Intimate, antique-furnished and quietly polished. Home to Aubergine, the region's only two-Michelin-star table.

Why we recommend it

The most refined village base on the Monterey Peninsula, anchored by the area's finest restaurant.
