Nothing else compares. From the moment you arrive, you feel wrapped in a level of warmth and sophistication that only La Playa delivers. The hotel effortlessly blends luxury with historic charm, creating an atmosphere that feels both timeless and elevated. Breakfast here is unforgettable. The spread is incredible, and the salmon caper hash browns are absolutely to die for, one of the best dishes we have ever had anywhere. Enjoying it all with ocean views has become one of our favorite traditions. The staff is consistently on point as well: attentive, professional, friendly, and always a step ahead in making sure every detail of your stay is perfect. If you are looking for a place where luxury meets historic sophistication, where every stay feels special and every moment feels relaxed, La Playa is it. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/91dcb60a-e9a5-4360-bf65-53580f32d367-1765416018710.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Amber Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara 7 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### La Playa Hotel Carmel The hotel was quiet, clean and very close to the water.

Restaurant is nice. Food was great. Service at restaurant was great. Front Desk did not honor my reservation. Said it did not exist and was very difficult. Said call Expedia and figure it out.

Rooms and common areas are very well appointed and relaxing. The door to our room didn’t close tightly which was odd. Free parking and breakfast were included, except an expresso at breakfast was chargeable ($10) and there was a $60 ‘amenity’ charge added to the bill. These mixed messages put a cloud over an otherwise exceptional stay. ##### Simon Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric 6 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities My wife and just celebrated our wedding anniversary.

Loved the wine in the afternoons and cookies in the evening. Transportation to and from the downtown area was perfect since the are many hills in the area. The champagne breakfast was excellent - only suggestion would be to have protein available as stand alone item. If you want bacon or sausage it’s only available in the form of a breakfast burrito or omelette. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/782940cc-e330-48c5-a8d4-3d735752afd3-1756850256599.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Elizabeth Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rodolfo 23 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful, just two blocks from Carmel beach. ##### Rodolfo Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Manchester-Grand-Hyatt-San-Diego.h12073.Hotel-Information) > > [The Barnes San Francisco, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Villa-Florence-San-Francisco-On-Union-Square.h5425.Hotel-Information) > > [HOLLYWOOD VOLUME, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-HOLLYWOOD-VOLUME.h62585670.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton San Francisco Union Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hilton-San-Francisco-Union-Square.h25622.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton San Diego Downtown/Bayside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-San-Diego-DowntownBayside.h13155016.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Fishermans-Wharf.h24625.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf San Francisco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Fishermans-Wharf-San-Francisco.h22500.Hotel-Information) > > [Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coronado-Hotels-Coronado-Island-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h25270.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Figueroa, an Unbound Collection by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hotel-Figueroa.h8805682.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Ocean-View-Hotel.h19135.Hotel-Information) > > [The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Godfrey-Hotel-Hollywood.h32945867.Hotel-Information) > > [Biltmore Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Millennium-Biltmore-Los-Angeles.h25715.Hotel-Information) > > [Silver Lake Pool & Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Silver-Lake-Pool-Inn.h34504058.Hotel-Information) > > [Level Los Angeles Downtown - South Olive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Level-Los-Angeles-Downtown-South-Olive.h10649672.Hotel-Information) > > [citizenM Los Angeles Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-CitizenM-Los-Angeles-Downtown.h65299564.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wayfarer San Diego](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-The-Wayfarer-San-Diego.h15555.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton La Peer Hotel by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Kimpton-La-Peer-Hotel-West-Hollywood-By-IHG.h18156733.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hollywood Roosevelt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Hollywood-Roosevelt.h34142.Hotel-Information) > > [W Los Angeles - West Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-W-Los-Angeles-West-Beverly-Hills.h25974.Hotel-Information) > > [Mondrian Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Mondrian-Los-Angeles.h4798.Hotel-Information) > > [W Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-W-Hollywood.h3084874.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Bahia-Resort-Hotel.h18241.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sun Rose West Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Sun-Rose-West-Hollywood.h57961536.Hotel-Information) > > [The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-London-West-Hollywood-At-Beverly-Hills.h21097.Hotel-Information) > > [Cornell Hotel de France](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Cornell-Hotel-De-France.h1222727.Hotel-Information) > > [Clarion Hotel Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Clarion-Hotel-Anaheim-Resort.h3893.Hotel-Information) > > [Disneyland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneyland-Hotel.h15276.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Caza.h38249309.Hotel-Information) > > [ The Hollywood Franklin Hotel near Universal Studios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Adler-A-Hollywood-Hills-Hotel.h9761.Hotel-Information) ---
