Known as the 'Serengeti of the Sea,' Monterey Bay is known for its abundant marine environments. The newly renovated Monterey Beach Hotel provides comfortable coastal guestrooms among spectacular California coastal scenery, dramatic sand dunes, rugged rocky cliffs, and bucolic rolling hills.
Ascendant Capital Partners, along with global hotel management firm Highgate, and global investment manager Centerbridge Partners, announced the highly anticipated opening of Monterey Beach Hotel.
This Marriott Tribute Portfolio hotel has been transformed by esteemed Los Angeles-based studio Indidesign to capture the essence of California living. Bespoke furnishings, local artwork, and a seamless blend of natural materials bring this 1967 property into one of the most desirable hotels in the area.
“Monterey Beach Hotel embodies the essence of the Monterey Peninsula and is a reflection of the quintessential central California coastal experience, which we sought to honor as part of a dramatic renovation of this truly one-of-a-kind property,” stated Alex Halpern, Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Ascendant. “With its modern interiors, enhanced dining and drinking offerings, and dynamic spaces for gatherings of every kind, the hotel pays homage to a convergence of the ocean, nature, and the vibrant mosaic of the community that defines Monterey’s charm. We are excited to reintroduce this iconic property with an entirely new aesthetic and elevated experiences that reflect an incomparable sense of place along a truly special stretch of the coast.”
Step into the lobby featuring picturesque floor-to-ceiling windows. After check-in, walk outdoors onto the oceanfront decks to sit by a fireplace in a cozy ambiance to take in the fresh ocean air. The views will awaken all of your senses.
The Lobby Lounge is a gathering spot for Captain + Stoker morning coffee and Ad Astra bread. Guests return for an Alvarado Street craft beer, sunset cocktail or local wines from Monterey County, Santa Cruz County, Santa Clara County and the greater Central Coast.
“With this momentous opening, we are excited to start making our mark and welcoming new travelers and community members alike to Monterey Beach Hotel; our hotel stands out among the rest, with a reimagined hotel experience, premium dining offerings, and best-in-class hospitality style,” said Nathan Hanner, General Manager of Monterey Beach Hotel.
All of the 188 guest rooms and four suites have unobstructed oceanside and cozy garden views. The warm and organic hospitality includes tasteful and well-appointed modern coastal interiors.
