L'Auberge Carmel

I recently had the opportunity to enjoy an intimate private dinner at aubergine. The experience far exceeded my expectations. Truly an exquisite dining experience thoughtfully prepared largely with local ingredients and paired with an incredible series of vintages with warm, welcoming and impeccable service. Not to mention the incredible mixology.

I will absolutely be returning to enjoy the experience again. Worth it.

Hotel staff and service was very nice. Rooms are nice and quaint - the whole property is intimate and cozy. Coffee is excellent!

3 instead of 5 stars because breakfast reservations despite being required were problematic (table not available at designated time, etc) and good but not special (scrambled eggs and toast). Could not accommodate us for dinner and dinner is served at tables in the courtyard directly next to the rooms meaning that although we couldn’t have dinner we also could not sit in the courtyard either which meant we had to stay in our
rooms or go somewhere else. A little odd.

We had a wonderful stay here to celebrate our anniversary. Staff was kind and helpful. The breakfast in our room each morning was awesome and so well done. We were escaping from our kids so it was nice to have a very relaxing place to stay where we could just take it easy. It's walkable to all the shops in Carmel and to the beach, very convenient! So charming and the courtyard is so quaint. We didn't have a chance to eat at the restaurant, but it looked awesome. Would absolutely stay again!
