Set for a soft renovation this winter, the 10-room Monte Verde Inn is located at Ocean and Seventh avenues featuring a Spanish-Mediterranean exterior set in white adobe with timber trim. Guestrooms include a mix of full kitchens, skylights, marble bathrooms and balconies with select ocean views; new hardwood floors, updated fixtures and furnishings will round out the renovation. Just adjacent, the streamlined Casa de Carmel - which will be rebranded under the Monte Verde Inn - sports seven guest accommodations with polished hardwood floors, premium bedding, select claw foot bathtubs and ocean views. “We’re pleased to add these two properties back into the Carmel Boutique Inn’s Portfolio,” says LeVett, who previously owned both properties up until 2008. “This addition enables us to offer a diverse line-up of traveler options while keeping them within the family umbrella.”
