Stilwell Hotel

Stilwell Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Property was so well appointed and very chic. Complimentary breakfast was so much more than expected. Eggs, breads, salads, fresh smoothies and so much more. Everything was delicious! Staff was super friendly and helpful. Rooms were very clean. Beds were comfortable. Loved drinking a glass of wine snuggled in a blanket by the outdoor fire pits. Definitely will be staying at the Stilwell again on my next trip to Carmel!"

"Great boutique hotel in Carmel. Close to the main areas in Carmel. Great customer service. Lovely comfortable rooms while not huge are beautiful furnished. Great free extras provided from early morning coffee, a delicious buffet breakfast with egg station, afternoon wine and not forgetting the wonderful chocolate chip cookies in the evening. A real treat."

If you decide to vacation at a 4-star hotel in Carmel, you'll typically find plenty of conveniences to make sure you're comfortable, such as a pool, gym and restaurant. You can enjoy excellent service and upscale surroundings. Go for a 5-star hotel and you'll get a few more bells and whistles — think around-the-clock concierge, on-site spas and opulent turndown services.
