Hotel Carmichael

I can't say speak enough about how wonderful my experience was at this establishment. My first encounter was with someone from housekeeping assisting me with directions to the correct floor to check in and she was very pleasant. The young woman at the counter was very courteous and informative regarding nearby dining options and entertainment. There was a live musician at the lobby bar area coupled with the beautiful holiday decor, I felt as if I were in a Hallmark movie lol. It was my birthday eve so the reservations were made with that information and upon entering my room i was greeted with a beautiful treat. I could go on and on but everything was perfect. The decor gave antique but modern vibes. Everything was in pristine condition. There is a nice mini bar with a few snacks and beverages in the room that you can purchase. The room service is from the restaurant and there is a delivery fee for that but you can also choose to pick it up. It was my birthday so I chose delivery and it came a lot faster than the estimated delivery time(dinner and breakfast) The accommodations, food, service...everything 10/10 highly recommend and I will definitely be back.

The first thing you'll notice when you enter Hotel Carmichael is the wonderful ambient scent that pervades throughout the property. It's called patchouli blanc, and it's heavenly. According to one of my Yelp friends, who is also in love with the scent at Hotel Carmichael, they sell this fragrance at the gift shop in the hotel. Good to know! The second thing you'll notice at Hotel Carmichael is the attention to detail. Everything is spotless, everything is in its right place. They are supremely invested in customer comfort here: from the little touches, like a complimentary 4 p.m. champagne toast at the bar in the lobby, to the 12 p.m. checkout (which allows you to rest just a bit more), to the immaculate workout center that is open 24/7. I love that they have a gym in the hotel that's open all day, every day. Sometimes, a lady needs to work out at 4 a.m. or 3 p.m., you know? The workout center at Hotel Carmichael has two elliptical machines on either side of three treadmills. There is also a set of free weights, a stationary bicycle, a machine that you push with your feet that works your thighs, medicine balls, and some other workout equipment that I didn't know much about. There are fresh towels and complimentary bottled water for your enjoyment.My room was a double queen room. It felt very spacious, and the beds were very comfy -- I slept well. The rooms at Hotel Carmichael have a Nespresso machine. I loved making a vanilla cappuccino in the little machine and enjoying it on the chair in my room, looking out the window onto downtown Carmel. My children really enjoyed that our TV had games on it. I can't even tell you what kind of games, but one of them looked like a worm? The remote control was also a video game controller, apparently, which was cool. This is what I mean about attention to detail. Even though Hotel Carmichael isn't what I would think of as the most family-friendly hotel, they sneak the family friendliness in by adding little touches like games on the TV. Our hotel room also had a big chandelier in it. I love Carmel.The shower situation is lovely. The shower is huge and can fit a family of four, or one indulgent woman who just wants to take a hot shower by herself and get some peace and quiet, dammit. There are multiple shower heads, and nice smelling shampoo/conditioner/body wash available in the shower. One thing to keep in mind: My hotel room had a mini fridge, but there were White Claws and other such adult beverages in it. I didn't touch them because a) White Claw, and b) I didn't want to get charged for White Claw. So if you have dinner leftovers that you wanted to save, or Lunchables and Gogurts that you brought for your kids, this mini fridge might be off limits. You might want to ask the front desk about your mini fridge use. On the same vein, my hotel room had a little nook with liquor and snacks tucked into the corner, right by the beds, all inviting-like. As soon as I saw it, I yelled to my children, "Don't touch that! Leave it alone!" It all looked delicious and tasty. It was presented very well. But if you have young children who think that everything in the hotel belongs to them, and you don't want to pay however-much for a tin of Pringles, then please keep this in mind. These are the only two non-young-kid-friendly things about the hotel, but I imagine that you could get these items cleared from your room before your stay, if you ask.

My sister and I wanted to go over for a quick birthday weekend and I'm go glad i found Hotel Carmichael. From the moment we pulled up it felt like luxury. The location is perfect!!! When you walk in the smell is intoxicating, they have their signature scent. Note: stop by the desk and purchase a candle or room spray. I love them both! This hotel is immaculate with old world charm. The staff are friendly and the building is clean and just perfect. We couldn't stop smiling. There was a pianist when we arrived and people enjoying the beautiful music. From their foyer you could see all the different singers and performances they have scheduled. It looked like there was something for everyone. Our room was clean and so put together. They definitely think about the details! The shower was the best!!!!!! Definitely a great deal as far as money goes. If you join Bonvoy rewards you can save some extra $$ as well. We had dinner at their restaurant, Vivante, which we did make reservations for. It was nice to check in and literally not have to leave. It is conveniently located in the Carmel City Center. You can walk to the fabulous shops and grab brunch at The Cake Bake Shop which is another review soon to come. To round it up, the Hotel Carmichael is a gem. I loved every second. I hope y'all enjoy your stay as much as we did.

Such a beautiful hotel and wedding venue! My son and daughter-in-law just held their wedding here last weekend! The whole event seemed magical! The hotel staff were super helpful and made all of our guests and family feel very welcome. The reception meal was just perfect and the pastry chef's wedding cake was exquisite!Thank you again for going above and beyond on their special day.

I came here for a martini. The first ever Yelp Christkindlmarkt crawl. This is my first stop (over a few days that is). And - OMG is this thing I am drinking - The Peppermint Hot Chocolate Martini super good!I came here and also checked out a bit of the hotel and restaurant. The lobby is very nice, clean, with a welcoming atmosphere. The staff at the restaurant and bar treated everyone who came in with great respect. I chatted with the bartender- she's super fun to talk to and took great care of her customers. I'm coming back here with my wife. We're going to have great fun when we do :)

I'll state the obvious, this is a visually beautiful, full service hotel! Everything from the floors, walls and fixtures in the common areas look newly polished with no detail missed! Loving the simplicity of the black and white floors and beautiful detail of ceiling ,pillars and framed artwork. The room is just as beautiful especially love the sparkly chandelier above the bed. The room with a king bed is cozy, every part of the room is in use, either with a desk, coffee station, mini bar or seating. The bathroom is surprisingly spacious with a tiled walk in shower.Tip- finding parking was difficult, may be a result of lots of areas closed off for construction activities surround the hotel.It was not obvious where to find the front hotel entrance, which is located above the parking garage for surrounding businesses. After driving around for a bit we happen to find it. Directional signage from Main Street would be a nice touch. Overall enjoying the stay so far, I plan to enjoy the piano bar this evening for their nightly, complimentary champagne toast! (I'll be here for a few days, so I'll post more photos as I discover the property. )

Was at the hotel to attend a company Christmas party. I don't get to Carmel often but am glad I came out and got to experience the hotel and their featured entertainment dueling piano show. We started off the evening with appetizers and drinks then once everyone had arrived, we went down to watch the piano show. Piano show was fun and entertaining. After the show, we went back up for dinner and o really the food was a hit. If you're looking for an upscale place to have an event or even just dinner, this is a great choice. It's also conveniently located near the Christkindl market. There is a parking garage (Veterans garage) around the corner and a short walk from the hotel. Parking garage was packed because of the Christmas market but was still able to find parking easily.

I am in LOVE with this hotel. I visited Carmel for a wedding and am so glad that we chose to stay the Hotel Carmichael. I could live in this place. To start, that staff is welcoming, kind, and attentive. They even offer a daily 4pm complimentary (yes, complimentary) champagne toast for all guests.The hotel and rooms are gorgeous. A tribute to the Great American Songbook, the hotel is uniquely stylish and historical in appearance, while still very clean and updated! My room was equipped with an Alexa, virtual TV remote capabilities, and a Nespresso machine. I'm a bit of a germ freak, when it comes to hotels, but I had no issues here. The room was so clean! I also highly enjoyed my breakfast in Vivante. Again, the staff was so kind and attentive. I have never loved a hotel this much!!!

Elegance everywhere we looked. There was no detail missed. We felt like we weren't in Carmel, it seemed like we were out of town. My only regret is why did I wait this long to book a stay here?! We will make Hotel Carmichael part of our date night routine. Thank you, Carmichael's for a lovely evening.

We enjoyed our staycation at Hotel Carmichael. We had a great time with dinner and a show at Feinstein's. Breakfast at Vivante was also delicious. The staff at the hotel were professional and accommodating. Nice room with a wonderful location. We parked and walked everywhere, even on a winter weekend. If you have time to check out the Saturday Morning Winter Farmer's Market, I recommend it. We also enjoyed making candles at Penn & Beech, pizza at Bazbeux, a steam sauna at the Aroma Room and lunch and drinks at Sun King.
