Carmel Green Lantern Inn – A Favorite for Families in Carmel-by-the-Sea

Carmel Green Lantern Inn features 17 rooms across six cottages, each named after trees like Holly, Pine, and Redwood. Rooms include Queen or King beds, private entrances, and patios with garden or ocean views. Some have fireplaces, walk-in showers, and gabled ceilings. Pet-friendly options are available.

Guests start the day with an expanded breakfast including freshly baked waffles, frittatas, yogurt parfait, and gourmet coffee. Dining outdoors is an option with views of the property's gardens and fountains.

The inn is a two-minute walk from Carmel Beach and one block from Ocean Avenue, lined with boutique shops and restaurants like Little Napoli Bistro and Patisserie Boissiere. The Monterey Bay Aquarium is a 10-minute drive away.

Staff provide personalized recommendations for dining, entertainment, and sightseeing, including whale watching and visits to Cannery Row. Limited on-site parking is available, with street parking on a first-come basis.

Operating for over 88 years, the inn retains original details like tree-themed room names and a quiet neighborhood setting surrounded by Redwoods and Cypress trees. It's half a mile from Pebble Beach Golf Links.
