Stilwell Hotel

Stilwell Hotel: A Perfect Blend of Luxury and Hospitality I absolutely loved staying at the Stilwell Hotel! The beautifully remodeled rooms are a testament to thoughtful design, boasting a sleek modern aesthetic complemented by high-end furniture. Every detail speaks to quality and comfort, making it feel like a true retreat. The outdoor seating area is a standout feature—pure luxury! From the cozy fire pits to the impressive pizza oven and serene waterfall wall, it’s the perfect spot to relax and unwind. What made the experience even more special was meeting the owners, Mark Stilwell and Mark Stilwell Jr. Their warm hospitality and genuine friendliness truly set this place apart. It’s rare to encounter owners so hands-on and personable, which makes the Stilwell feel like more than just a hotel—it feels like home. Highly recommend staying here for anyone seeking elegance, comfort, and top-notch service!

Carmel has a winner hotel Gorgeous place! Very upscale & cozy. Comfortable beds, ambiance was nice. Beautiful outside seating area throughout the hotel. Loved the outdoor pizza oven! We enjoyed seating outside drinking wine next to the fire. We will be back!! Highly recommend it

Beautiful hotel in a beautiful town! The hotel is gorgeous and you cannot beat the location. The staff was amazing and the breakfasts were delicious. Loved the attention to detail in the rooms, light sensors under the bed and bathroom sink. The outdoor areas are beautifully designed. Only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. We will definitely be back.

Would come again! 5-stars Very nice and posh, super warm and home feeling. Centrally located to many many restaurants and shops, a perfect lodging for easy walking and sightseeing the majority of what Carmel has to offer . The complementary vreakfast is the best I’ve ever seen and we stay at many leading hotels around the world. Not your generic “continental breakfast”

Stop looking for hotel rooms in Carmel, you found the place, it's here!! Rare that I ever write a review unless it's due to a horrid or amazing stay. Hands down, best hotel find we've had in years. Starting with Tom the 20 year old bellhop (yes, that's what I call them, lol) with the great attitude. Helped us lug of bags to the room twice. Front desk person made check-in easy. Very polite and acted like they were happy to see us and started us off on right track. Rooms, simply top end stuff. Finishes are amazing (I build high end homes) yet not crazy over the top. Kind of like a high end Tahoe/Carmel feel to them. Beds are super comfortable and thank God pillows were too. Bathrooms spacious, tile and fixtures higher end, towels super soft too. Now onto some of the great stuff. Breakfast is gonna blow your minds. If it didnt come with room, I would pay 35 bucks per person for it. Just that good and quality was beyond awesome.. Everything made from scratch with such a great unique flare to each items. It's a buffet, yet very small specialty items each day. I don't take pictures, yet trust me, it's simply healthy, fresh and unique. This is a smaller hotel, yet felt very very spacious due to the Zen feel to it: plants, lots of grasses, larger water feature in center of outdoor space plus multiple firepits to have a cocktail or glass of wine. Same area is a pizza oven station. We're pizza snobs, they get a 9.9 which is in rare air territory. The mushroom one is amazing.. Nice little coffee/tea bar in room. Multi phone charger inputs. Great headboards with reading lights. TV's are nice and easy to operate. Loved sleeping with windows cracked too.. It's also located right dab in center of everything. Walk to everything including beach. Met a great dog (Gold. Retrvr.) named Cooper there. Tesla Chargers right by front desk. There is no weak link in any staff members. Meaning every single one of them has a fantastic attitude. I simply can't find one thing wrong with the hotel or experience. For the price paid, value exceeds that price point. So, if you have a choice and even if this ones a bit more, hands down, spend the dollars. Yet, it wasn't expensive compared to others.
