Situated at the gateway to Downtown Carmel on Ocean Avenue and Junipero Street, the former Village Inn has been completely transformed into a modern beach retreat. The two-story property features 34 guest rooms, each with its own fireplace, and high-quality, thoughtful touchpoints including Gilchrist & Soames bath amenities and Doctor’s Choice mattresses by Denver Mattress Co. for a restful night’s sleep. Napa, Calif.-based design firm, Shopworks, orchestrated the redesign of The Getaway in a color palette that takes cues from the sand, sky and sea. Furnishings, fabrics, and materials in white, natural, teak, and rattan are complemented by moments in gray and blue. White brick walls add a flash of bohemian energy, and subtle details such as houndstooth-print bed skirts and custom-made upholstered headboards add dimension in the guest rooms. In the bathrooms, geometric black, white and gray-tiled floors stand in dynamic contrast to the white surfaces in the space while sleek, oversized subway tiles and metal accents add texture and detail. Walls washed in white create a bright, airy and welcoming atmosphere in the hotel lobby and reception area. Outside, a fire pit is the focal point of the terrace that sets the scene for socializing and lounging, and Blue French doors add a touch of storybook whimsy to the hotel’s exterior. “The Getaway has a playful, energetic and youthful personality—a distinct experience for families and the spirited lifestyle traveler who wants to live life out loud and explore the best of the destination,” says General Manager Kevin Krueger. “We’re steps away from the downtown shops, restaurants and galleries, and the beach is just a short distance away.” Among hotel amenities that celebrate the destination and encourage guests to discover the enchanting charm of Carmel-by-the-Sea are puzzles and coloring books to bring out the inner artist, beach toys, and pampered amenities for dogs including dog beds, bowls and treats. The Getaway guest experience also includes complimentary deluxe continental breakfast daily, complete with housemade granola, yogurt parfaits, breakfast flatbreads, sweet & savory toasts, waffles with fruit, and coffee by Carmel Coffee Roasters in addition to a daily Sparkling Wine Hour on the outdoor terrace with savory snacks and sparkling wine cocktails. “Carmel-by-the-Sea has the history, character and quaint lifestyle that we love so much at PlumpJack Group,” says Hilary Newsom, president and partner, PlumpJack Group. “We’re thrilled to grow our presence here, to become a larger part of the community and give guests another way to experience the destination in addition to our first Carmel property, The Hideaway.” The Getaway is a sister property to The Hideaway, a 24-room inn opened by PlumpJack Group and Meriwether Companies in spring 2016. With fireplaces in every room, elevated guest services, outdoor fire pits, cozy living area and newly upgraded courtyard, The Hideaway is an idyllic choice for couples who want a seaside escape from it all.
