Cypress Inn - A historic 4-star pet-friendly hotel with Mediterranean architecture and Hollywood heritage

Located in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea, this historic 1929 Mediterranean-style hotel operates under a pioneering pet-friendly policy established by former co-owner Doris Day. The property features guest rooms equipped with flat-screen TVs, luxurious linens, and filtered water, with select rooms offering fireplaces and courtyard views. Terry's Lounge hosts daily 'Yappy Hour' gatherings and serves classic cocktails, while the hotel provides a complimentary extended continental breakfast served from 7 AM to 10 AM. Guest amenities include plush robes, Gilchrist & Soames toiletries, and evening turndown service. The Cypress Inn sits 0.5 miles from Steven Whyte's Sculpture Studio and the New Masters Gallery, with Carmel Plaza located 0.5 miles away. The property maintains a position 9.5 miles from Monterey Peninsula.

Pros

Designated pet washing station and pickup bags available in the courtyard

Historic Spanish architecture dating back to 1929

Daily newspaper delivery and filtered water in all rooms

Evening social gatherings at Terry's Lounge with specialty cocktails

Cons

No air conditioning in all rooms

$25 per night parking fee with limited spaces available

“What strikes me most is the devotion to canine guests; few hotels extend such a welcome. Its location is superb, nestled right among Carmel's shops and restaurants. From what I gather, the charm is undeniable, though a ground-floor room might bring more street sounds than serenity.”
