Hotel Pacific, Monterey

Monterey's only all-suite property, the AAA 4-Diamond Hotel Pacific, sits at the threshold of old Monterey, steps away from historic adobes and the walking Path of History. The hotel is designed with graceful adobe architecture to reflect the heritage of old Monterey. Its modern interiors, fountains and gardens blend into a Spanish-style motif. Each of the hotel's 105 suites is enhanced with a crackling fire, goose down feather bed and hardwood floors, and features a separate living and dining area with wet bar, honor bar, in-room coffee makers and a French door that opens to a private balcony or patio. Rooms feature TVs with VCRs, CD players, in-room dual coffeemakers, irons and ironing boards, and bathrobes for the guests' use during their stay. The handcrafted tile bath features separate tub and shower, a second phone and a second television. Each visit also includes a complimentary continental breakfast and afternoon tea social. Parking is available and charged per day.
