Hotel Pacific is Monterey’s only all-suite hotel Four Diamond hotel. It offers guests lush private courtyards, stylish common areas, bubbling fountains, manicured gardens, complimentary breakfast and afternoon tea. Massage and body care therapies are available Each room is outfitted with European featherbeds, a fireplace, refrigerator and an honor bar with goodies. There’s plenty of space to lounge in your room if you just want to relax while planning your next adventure. Each room has two small seating areas plus a workspace with internet hookup if you just can't disconnect.
My traveling companion and I arrived just in time for the complimentary afternoon tea. Offered each day from 4-6 p.m., the light snack is served in the comfy second-story salon. After our road trip from Sacramento the yummy fresh fruit, cheese and crackers plus either hot or iced tea, was a welcome repast.
