America’s Last Hometown

Discover Local Gems near Our Monterey Hotel

Our well-placed Pacific Grove hotel

At the tip of the Monterey Peninsula, classical Victorians are perched on tree-lined streets, monarch butterflies congregate in fragrant eucalyptus groves, and cypress trees sway in the ocean breeze. This is idyllic Pacific Grove, known as “America’s Last Hometown,” where you’re invited to slow down, take it all in, and move with the pace of your coastal environs. Unhurried but not sleepy, Pacific Grove offers up eclectic attractions including the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary, Point Pinos Lighthouse, Pacific Grove Golf Links, Asilomar State Beach, Lovers Point Park, and the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History. Around the periphery of the city, the 18-miles Monterey Bay Coastal Recreation Trail showcases scenic views of ocean and wildlife. In the heart of it all, you’ll find Kimpton Mirador Pacific Grove. We’re your soulful homebase for exploring the countless wonders to be found in Pacific Grove, around Monterey Bay and all along the Central California coast.
