Svendsgaard's Inn  

In Northwest Carmel-by-the-Sea, a short walk from Ocean Avenue and a quick drive to Carmel Beach and 17‑Mile Drive. Monterey Bay and the Monterey Bay Aquarium are also within easy reach.

Svendsgaard's Inn sits around a lush garden courtyard with a large heated outdoor pool and a cozy lobby fireplace. Thirty-five guestrooms feature new bedding, flat-screen TVs, private baths with complimentary toiletries and hairdryers, desks and free local calls — and the property is proudly pet-friendly, offering dog beds, water bowls and leashes.

Standout amenities include a heated outdoor pool, terrace and garden views, tour/ticket assistance and free self/off-street parking. Expect easygoing comfort and the kind of sea-breeze mornings that make a poolside cup of coffee feel essential.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the inn and in-room desks keep you connected. A 24-hour front desk and complimentary newspapers add practical convenience.

Coffee and tea are available in a common area to start the day. A short stroll brings you to Ocean Avenue cafés and restaurants serving local flavors.
