Monterey's 5-star hotels offer the perfect base for exploring the California coast. Choose between the casual luxury of Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel and Spa, with its golf course and family-friendly amenities, or the romantic elegance of Old Monterey Inn, a bed and breakfast near Cannery Row known for its garden and spa baths. For breathtaking bay views, Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa sits steps from the Monterey Bay Aquarium, offering a full-service spa and multiple oceanfront restaurants.
Expect to pay premium rates for these properties, starting around $300 per night in low season and rising to $600 or more in summer. Stay near Cannery Row or Fisherman's Wharf for easy access to attractions, or pick the Hyatt Regency for airport convenience and free shuttles. All hotels offer free WiFi, and many include parking, breakfast, or spa access. Book early for summer weekends to secure availability.
