Options include Standard Rooms with king or two full beds, Deluxe Rooms with fireplaces and separate vanity areas, and Cottage Suites with king beds and sofa sleepers. All rooms include a TV with cable channels, free WiFi, coffee machine, and free spa toiletries.

The hotel is within walking distance of local restaurants including Yafa (Mediterranean), PortaBella, Catch (seafood), Carmel's Hidden Gem, Grasings (California cuisine), Il Tegamino (Italian comfort food), and Anton & Michel.

Leisure & Facilities

The hotel features a seasonal outdoor pool heated from April through October. Free public street parking is available with no time limit. The property is surrounded by fragrant flower gardens, and many rooms include fireplaces. The hotel does not have ADA-compliant rooms but offers hearing-impaired accessibility features including vibrating alarm clocks, door knock signals, smoke/carbon monoxide strobe light alarms, and TTY machines.

Location & Transportation

Located in Carmel-by-the-Sea, the Normandy Inn is three blocks from Carmel Beach. It is minutes from Carmel Plaza shopping center, Sunset Center performing arts venue, and nearly 100 art galleries including Wyland Gallery, Jones & Terwilliger Galleries, and Winfield Gallery. The hotel is 15 km from Monterey Peninsula, 26 miles from Big Sur, and within driving distance of Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Hearst Castle in San Simeon.

Services & Accessibility

The hotel provides free high-speed WiFi throughout the property, complimentary continental breakfast, and hearing-impaired accessibility equipment installed upon request. Services include central alert notification systems, telephone handset amplifiers, and TTY machines. The property does not have mobility-accessible ADA rooms due to conversion constraints. Public street parking is available at no cost with no time restrictions.

“In my opinion, the location is undeniably a draw, placing guests steps from Ocean Avenue shops and Carmel Beach. While street parking presents a typical downtown challenge, the French country design offers a distinct charm. For me, the seasonal outdoor pool access is a definite plus.”
