Monarch Resort  

Tucked on California’s Monterey Peninsula in seaside Pacific Grove, a short stroll from 17-Mile Drive and the Monarch Grove Butterfly Sanctuary. The hotel sits minutes from Point Pinos Lighthouse, Lovers Point, Asilomar Dunes and a quick drive to Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium; Monterey Peninsula Airport is about 9.5 miles away.

About 50 guestrooms with a relaxed coastal-chic vibe and practical perks — microwaves, refrigerators, coffee makers and LED/flat-screen TVs. Some rooms include a cozy fireplace; bathrooms have shower/tub combinations and hair dryers, and many rooms offer irons/ironing boards and ceiling fans.

Soak in a heated outdoor pool, loosen up in the hot tub or sweat it out in the dry sauna — perfect after a day by the shore. Complimentary continental breakfast is served each morning, and free on-site parking makes arrivals easy. Note: the pool has a scheduled short closure Feb 24–Mar 2, 2025.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet keeps you connected. Free self-parking, an elevator for accessibility, a safe-deposit box at the front desk and a vending machine add extra convenience.

A complimentary continental breakfast is included to kick-start your mornings. A short walk or drive delivers plenty of local seafood and Monterey Peninsula flavors at nearby restaurants.
