Hofsas House Hotel in Carmel-By-The-Sea
Located on the Monterey Peninsula, Carmel-By-The-Sea, often referred to simply as Carmel, is a charming seaside village made up of story book cottages and quaint, tree-lined streets. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway, or just a lovely place to visit on your trip up the California coast, Carmel is the place to be.
Though its place nestled among the trees and scenic coast feels quiet and remote, Carmel is just minutes away from some world-class attractions, including the 17-Mile Drive, Big Sur, Pebble Beach Golf, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
We recently visited Carmel on our road trip from Southern California to San Francisco, and spent a night at Hofsas House Hotel. It was a lovely and relaxing experience.
Hofsas House is a Bavarian-inspired hotel, as charming and unique as the town itself! The hotel is built on a hill, several blocks up from the beach, allowing for great views and stunning sunsets. You’ll find European charm not just in the hotel’s design, but around every corner.

About the Hotel
Hofsas House Hotel is within easy walking distance of everything Carmel has to offer, including restaurants, shops, art galleries, wine tasting, parks and the beach. We loved being able to venture out and explore the town, and staff at the hotel was very helpful in providing recommendations and directions.
In the morning, Hofsas House provides a complimentary continental breakfast. They serve fresh fruit, coffee, tea, juice, and fresh-baked pastries from a local Carmel bakery. You can either enjoy breakfast in the lobby, on the patio, or take a tray back to your room.
Other hotel amenities include a heated swimming pool, dry saunas, view deck areas, HD cable TV and free WIFI access.
You can enhance your stay with optional extras like in-room massage, gifts or special decorations. We had a lovely gift of chilled wine and cheese waiting in the room upon arrival, and enjoyed the treats that night in front of the fire.
The hotel partners with many local businesses to provide perks for guests, including at Cinq Mondes Spa in Carmel and four different golf courses in the area.
Rooms at Hofsas House Hotel
Hofsas House features 38 unique rooms, ranging from single King rooms to two room family suites. Each room is individually decorated, and many include ocean views, fireplaces and Dutch doors that open up to capture the beauty and freshness of Carmel.
We stayed in a two room suite that featured a wood burning fire place and balcony, with had a nice view of the trees and water in the distance.
While the hotel is of course an older building, rooms are well kept and comfortable. All rooms feature a refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker.
Hofsas House was the perfect spot to unwind for a day and enjoy the beautiful town of Carmel. Next time, we’ll plan to stay longer!
