Referred to as the ‘Serengeti of the Sea,’ Monterey Bay is celebrated for its rich marine habitats. The recently updated Monterey Beach Hotel offers inviting coastal accommodations amidst breathtaking Californian coastal landscapes, dramatic sandy dunes, rugged cliff sides, and picturesque rolling hills.
Ascendant Capital Partners, in collaboration with the international hotel management company Highgate, and global investment company Centerbridge Partners, revealed the eagerly awaited launch of Monterey Beach Hotel.
This Marriott Tribute Portfolio hotel has been revitalized by the distinguished Los Angeles-based creative studio Indidesign to embody the spirit of Californian living. Custom furnishings, local art, and a harmonious blend of natural elements transform this 1967 establishment into one of the region’s most sought-after hotels.
“Monterey Beach Hotel represents the soul of the Monterey Peninsula, reflecting the quintessential coastal experience of central California, which we aimed to celebrate through an extensive renovation of this truly unique property,” commented Alex Halpern, Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Ascendant. “Featuring contemporary interiors, improved dining and drinking options, and versatile spaces for gatherings of various types, the hotel pays tribute to a fusion of the beach, nature, and the colorful essence of the community that defines Monterey’s appeal. We are thrilled to reintroduce this legendary property with a completely fresh aesthetic and enriched experiences that embody an unrivaled sense of place along a remarkably special segment of the coastline.”
Enter the lobby adorned with stunning floor-to-ceiling windows. After registration, step outside onto the oceanfront decks to relax by a fireplace in a cozy atmosphere while enjoying the refreshing ocean breeze. The vistas will invigorate all of your senses.
The Lobby Lounge serves as a communal spot for Captain + Stoker morning brews and Ad Astra bread. Guests come back for an Alvarado Street craft beer, sunset cocktails, or local wines from Monterey County, Santa Cruz County, Santa Clara County, and the broader Central Coast.
“With this significant opening, we are excited to establish our presence and welcome new travelers and local community members to Monterey Beach Hotel; our establishment stands out with its reimagined experience, premium dining options, and exceptional hospitality style,” remarked Nathan Hanner, General Manager of Monterey Beach Hotel.
Every one of the 188 guest rooms and four suites boasts unobstructed oceanfront and serene garden views. The warm and organic hospitality features elegant and well-furnished modern coastal interiors.
Thoughtfully curated bath products by D.S. & DURGA, alongside luxurious bedding, set the scene for a peaceful night’s rest accompanied by the symphony of rolling waves.
For those who need to attend to work prior to exploring the beach or visiting the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row, a work desk is provided.
Savor gourmet delights at three new, chef-led dining venues on-site. The flagship restaurant, The Lantern Room, features a California Coastal menu on the top floor, offering diners breathtaking views of Monterey Bay and beyond.
Unwind at Tidewater as the sun sets for curated drinks, innovative dishes crafted from fresh local ingredients, and live entertainment.
Guests can take advantage of various amenities including a heated outdoor pool and hot tub. Scandinavian-inspired saunas and ice baths will be available soon.
