Perched dramatically over the Monterey Bay, the Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa combines elegant European architecture, sweeping coastal views and sophisticated style to create the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the gentle sounds of the surf, the fresh scent of sea air and the sight of otters, seals and dolphins at play.
The Monterey Plaza's central location on Cannery Row makes it easy to enjoy the area's many attractions and activities, including the world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium just three blocks away. The range of activities and attractions nearby is nearly limitless. Launch a kayak from the Hotel's beach, play a round of golf at one of 19 local championship courses, go sailing, whale watch or scuba dive in the protected marine sanctuary of Monterey Bay. Walk to Fisherman's Wharf, Old Town Monterey or the Maritime Museum, or take a scenic drive to Carmel, Pebble Beach, 17-Mile Drive or Big Sur.
The Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa is a proud to have been named by the reviewers of TripAdvisor one of the Top 25 Hotels in the entire United States, and is a recipient of the 2014 Forbes Four-Star Award. Only 160 hotels in the Unites States and Canada have been honored with this distinction, establishing our waterfront resort as one of the finest in the country.
