Hyatt Regency Monterey: A Quintessential California Experience Surrounded and Inspired by Nature
Hyatt Regency Monterey Renovated Lobby
Tucked away in the Monterey pines on 22 secluded acres, the Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa on Del Monte Golf Course is surrounded by the beautiful scenery of the Central Coast and just minutes from legendary Route 1. On March, Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa revealed its property-wide transformation, which included 560 redesigned guest rooms and suites, reimagined public spaces, and the addition of a new signature restaurant and market.

The destination has added an exciting array of outdoor amenities including a hammock garden, outdoor lounge with fire pits, enhanced walking paths, and arrival experience. It’s also the region's largest conference hotel with more than 40,000 square feet of meeting space and 560 guestrooms.
"The renovation restores the legacy of this iconic hotel through a distinctive design transformation and inviting outdoor amenities,” says General Manager Kevin Ellis. “Honoring the rich history of the property, Hyatt Regency Monterey pays homage to California's natural beauty, golfing culture, and Route 1 drive for the quintessential Monterey experience.”

Style:
Rolling sand dunes and deep green cypress trees mixed with welcoming social spaces echo a warm coastal Craftsman style that is beloved along California's rugged Central Coast. The design is inspired by Monterey's natural landscape and the hotel's own architectural features are reminiscent of Craftsman design. Designed by San Francisco-based design firm Gensler, the hotel's renovation blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces.
The redesign established a clear line of sight from the front entry to the golf course, and the warm hearth to the bar, connecting guests to an experience of relaxation. The warm textures and colors of each of the 560 guest rooms reflect the fog, flora, and fauna iconic to the region. Taking cues from Craftsman woodwork, the rooms are rich in special detailing and warm textures. The design for Hyatt Regency Monterey offers an experience that takes full advantage of its its unique site and provides a welcome respite and a calm sense of renewal.
