Carmel-by-the-Sea is celebrating its 100th anniversary but we are the ones who get the birthday presents! That’s right, the bohemian chic coastal village of Carmel will blow out the candles on its centennial birthday on October 29, 2016, with many inns, bed & breakfasts and hotels offering lodging discounts into December. Following on the heels of International B&B Month, the innkeepers of Carmel are putting frosting on the cake with offers like $100 nightly discounts that would make Clint Eastwood’s day.
Carmel Centennial Hotel Packages
Hofsas House on San Carlos Street between 3rd and 4th, is offering guests 15 percent off the hotel room rate, in addition to a free copy of “Stories of Old Carmel: A Centennial Tribute.” Be sure to mention “Centennial Travelsite Offer” to get this rate and if you are traveling with your dog, Hofsas House is pet-friendly.
All four downtown Inns by the Sea have a centennial package that features a $100 dining certificate with overnight stays of three nights or longer. Properties include Candle Light Inn, Carriage House Inn, Svendsgaard’s Inn & Wayside Inn. Use code CML100 when booking or visit Inns by the Sea.
Life is like a box of chocolates when you stay at Carmel Country Inn during midweek. If you reserve a king studio or suite for two consecutive midweek nights you’ll receive a box of chocolates and split of champagne. Located on Dolores Street at Third Avenue, Carmel Country Inn bills itself as Carmel’s most pet-friendly bed and breakfast. I have yet to stay here, but I do know that Carmel-by-the-Sea is one of the most dog-friendly destinations that I have ever visited.

Speaking of pet-friendly, I took my Labrador Retriever (pictured above) to The Hideaway on Junipero and 8th and had a wonderful stay. Their centennial package includes two bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon wine and complimentary tasting for two at PlumpJack Winery for 2016 and 2017 and is available through December. The Hideaway is steps from Carmel’s white sand beaches and their complimentary European breakfast is excellent.
