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.

Accommodations:

Rooms feature crisp, clean color palettes, natural textures, and floor-to-ceiling windows with beautiful Monterey views.

For a a private and luxurious stay, The President’s House is a 2,500-square-foot stand-alone villa with four bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, a living room, dining room, full kitchen, and backyard complete with a private pool.

Relaxation and Wellness: 

The spa offers a wide array of options to unwind and revitalize with treatments in the intimate fitness complex or in the privacy of a guest room or suite.

The new 3,000-square-foot fitness complex houses the latest in equipment, as well as steam and sauna rooms for a workout that is as rejuvenating as it is energizing. 

Golfers will love the opportunity to play the oldest operating golf course west of the Mississippi, Del Monte Golf Course, thanks to the unique location that is adjacent to the renowned Pebble Beach course. Or hit the tennis courts at the hotel’s full-service Racquet Club, offering six courts in an idyllic setting. 

Guests will also enjoy relaxing in the destination’s heated Spyglass and Garden outdoor pools. 

Cuisine: 

Guests will enjoy a rich medley of Mediterranean flavors at Sea Root, the hotel’s signature restaurant where they can unwind by the crackling fireplace or outdoor fire pits at Heath & Patio at Sea Root, overlooking Pebble Beach’s Del Monte Golf Course. 

For a laidback setting, Knuckles, the most popular sports bar in Monterey for the past 17 years, offers a relaxating atmosphere for tasty bar food, beer, and watching the big game.

Central Coast Provisions is an open coffee-bar concept where guests can fuel up on Starbucks, freshly pressed juices, and local baked goods.
