Leisure & Business

Thanks to a golf course, guests can stay fit at the Stilwell.

“The big draw is its prime location, putting guests within an easy stroll of both upscale shopping and Carmel Beach. Expect immaculate, modern rooms, but the outdoor fire pits and stone-baked pizza add a social touch you might not anticipate from such a polished property. I was especially impressed with the attention to detail, like motion sensor lighting; they have clearly thought of everything.”
