Fodor's Expert Review Carmel Mission Inn
3665 Rio Rd., Carmel, California, 93923, USA
A multimillion-dollar renovation completed in the early 2020s transformed this 1970s motel, conveniently located near the intersection of Highway 1 and Rio Road, into a hip haven that evokes the region’s natural environment (sand, sea, mountains, pines) and artsy past (mosaic floors, local art, vintage doors). Rooms reflect a mid-century modern vibe (earth tones with orange and blue accents); some have private balconies and pool or mountain views. This is a great place to relax before or after adventures: dine at Shearwater Tavern gastropub, hang out by the firepits in the entry courtyard, or soak in the pool.
