À propos de La Playa Hotel

Once a luxurious mansion built in 1905 by an artist as a gift to his wife, a member of the Ghirardelli family, for over 100 years La Playa Hotel has been known as the “Grande Dame of Carmel.” This landmark boutique hotel is tucked minutes away from Carmel's famed white sand beach and features turn-of-the-century charm with premier Pacific views. The hotel's 75-guest rooms reflect a sophisticated beach cottage style and are comfortably appointed. The cornerstone of one of California’s most prestigious neighborhoods, La Playa Hotel places art galleries, shops, fine restaurants, tasting rooms and scenic beauty just outside its doorstep. From the morning's Champagne Breakfast to the sunset wine reception and late-night cookies and milk, guests will relish the hotel's luxury amenities and be treated to an extraordinary Carmel experience.

À propos de Marc & Rose Hospitality

Practicing Genuine Hospitality Since 1962

Marc & Rose is a company of professionals passionate about opening doors for travelers; about cheering, 'the more the merrier!' as a party of two becomes twenty; about food first and questions later; about sharing stories around a fire and making friends among strangers. We are owner-operators, which enables us to practice high-touch, genuine hospitality within intentionally crafted and sophisticated spaces. By deploying well-earned generational knowledge, we create places that settle the soul and stoke the spirit. Our hospitality emerges at the intersection of empathy, aesthetics, and atmosphere. It is an instrument of connection and care; a practice.

We are committed to fundamentals and to the evolving rhythm of a genuinely warm welcome. That is why we never stop studying people and places, integrating and honing our skills, training our minds and bodies, and reimagining what’s possible. We keep channels open and hearts attuned. It is because of our decades-long devotion to excellence that we are able to practice skillful improvisation and appropriate restraint. With a passion for hard work and genuine hospitality, we leverage our knowledge and lifelong curiosity to build worlds — containers and catalysts for spontaneous joy.

We know that each of us is the host one day; the next, the traveler. Both roles require a willingness to say, “yes” to life and to each other; to step perceptively into the now. At Marc + Rose, what emerges is as magical as it is earnest: a tradition of warm and sophisticated hospitality. We live to welcome.
