Like vintage wine, Los Laureles Lodge gets better with time. Rich in legend and history, the Lodge and Restaurant reflect the colorful influence of Spanish conquistadors, tribal Indians, and a flavorful mixture of bandits, cowboys and socialites.

Nestled deep in the lush Carmel Valley, Los Laureles basks in warm, brilliant sunshine miles away from coastal fog. The deep blue sky, often etched by feathery white clouds, provides the perfect backdrop for swimming, picnicking, hiking, or simply relaxing under a shady oak tree.

Guestrooms

Guests often express their amazement when they learn of the transformation of the comfortable guest accommodations from the former Vanderbilt thoroughbred stables. The knotty pine paneled walls, furnishings and period antiques all contribute to the atmosphere of the warm, country-style rooms.

The Laureles Courtyard, right outside and accessed through French doors, provides a pleasant place to enjoy the warm Carmel Valley sun. Here, guests tend to meet their friends, read a book, or enjoy some light refreshments at the patio tables.

Courtyard Rooms

Muriel Vanderbilt-Phelps originally built the Courtyard rooms as stables for her thoroughbred horses in the 1930's. Converted in the 1950's and refurbished approximately 9 years ago, these rooms are decorated in a Ralph Lauren motif with knotty-pined paneled walls. Perfect for small groups and family reunions.

Surrey Lane Rooms

Surrey Lane rooms are named after the old surreys that used to carry guests from Old Del Monte Hotel. Los Laureles Lodge was its hunting and fishing lodge in the 1890's. They are larger than the Courtyard rooms and are decorated in blue and white. They boast outdoor wicker chairs and overlook beautiful cherry trees.

Junior Suites

The Honeymoon Cottage-Tucked away beyond the Courtyard sits what many years ago was Carmel Valley's polling booth. Decorated in country elegance with French doors, a king size bed, full bathroom and a deck overlooking a woodsy ravine.

The Horseshoe Suite-Just like the name implies, this king bedded room located at the beginning of the courtyard or horseshoe, has a full bathroom and a small fireplace.

The Poolside Cabana-This extra-large king bedded cottage has the feel of the Courtyard rooms but is its own little cottage by the main pool area. This suite is perfect as a hospitality room for golf groups or large enough to host an entire family.

Queen Suite

The Queen Suite-Step up from your front porch, where you can sit and have your coffee in the mornings, into a suite with a country cottage feel. This suite has a full-sized living room with sofa, entertainment center and breakfast area. The bedroom has a queen size bed and built in bookshelves. The bathroom has both a shower and Jacuzzi tub.

King Suite

The Vanderbilt Cottage-When you enter the living room from your own white picket-fenced yard, the first thing you see is a giant stone fireplace, made especially for those cozy nights. This suite has a kitchenette, king bed, huge bathroom with Jacuzzi bathtub and back porch. Add on Surry Lane room next door and it becomes a two bedroom, two-bath suite, which is perfect for two couples.

Hill House

Our luxury three bedroom, two bath house has a living room, den, dining area, full kitchen and deck with sweeping views on Carmel Valley. Once noted for being the house that the Red Cross used to make American flags in during the wars, this house can accommodate up to nine people. The master bedroom has a full-sized master bath; the second has two double beds and shares a bathroom with the third bedroom, which has a double bed and a twin bed.
