Carmel Green Lantern Inn - A historic bed & breakfast with 17 rooms across six cottages near Pacific Ocean
Located in a peaceful Carmel-by-the-Sea neighborhood near Monterey Bay, Carmel Green Lantern Inn features 17 individually decorated rooms spread across six cottages. Each accommodation includes premium bedding, free WiFi, and a private bathroom with newly remodeled walk-in showers. The property's spacious rooms come with gabled ceilings, creating a traditional atmosphere, while select units offer private decks with ocean views. A complimentary expanded breakfast includes freshly baked waffles, frittatas, gourmet coffee, yogurt parfait, and fresh fruit. The grounds showcase lush gardens with fountains and mature Redwood and Cypress trees. This historic Carmel-by-the-Sea hotel stands two minutes' walking distance from Carmel Beach and one block from Ocean Avenue's boutique shops and galleries.
Pros
Each room features unique architectural details like gabled ceilings or hipped vestibules
Complimentary expanded breakfast with freshly baked items served daily
Picturesque grounds with fountains, Redwood and Cypress trees
Pet-friendly rooms available with private Carmel stone patios
Cons
Limited on-site parking available on first-come basis
Some rooms require climbing narrow staircases
“This inn's prime location near both the beach and town is a definite advantage, alongside genuinely helpful staff. However, some smaller rooms can feel cramped, and noise from neighboring rooms might be a concern. Overall, I think it's a reasonable choice, given the area's prices.”
Charlotte EvansHead of Editorial at Hotelsdowntown
