1. A Trip To The Monterey Bay Area Offers Something For Everyone
A trip to the Monterey Bay area offers something for everyone. You can sample history, the arts,
marine life, beautiful vistas, local wineries, a few rounds of golf, or an afternoon of shopping. The best
hotel from which to explore the wonders of Monterey Bay is Casa Munras. Rich in history, it offers
modern amenities and conveniences while letting you enjoy a stay in what began life as a Spanish
hacienda. Built in 1824 for Don Esteban Munras, the last Spanish diplomat to Spanish California.
The hotel is surrounded with old trees and incredible garden areas. Lush, blooming plants cascade
around the pool, patio, and grounds. In addition to the beautiful natural setting of Casa Munras, you
have many opportunities to enjoy the temperate ocean side climate. Relax by the pool or dine
outdoors at Estaban, the brand new, Mediterranean influenced restaurant named for the founder of
the original hacienda.
At Casa Munras, you have a wide choice of rooms, but all are decorated in warm tones and come
with luxurious FeatherBorne beds. Pretty white wooden louvered blinds grace the windows, lending a
distinctly homey feel. For added romance, fifty-one rooms are available with fireplaces.
Casa Munras offers easy access to all the region has to offer. For those of a literary bent there is the
National Steinbeck Center. Anyone interested in marine life must take in the Monterey Bay Aquarium
or the Marine Mammal Center. As an added attraction, harbor seals frequent the Bay. History lovers
can explore the California Mission Trail or take in Fisherman's Wharf, a vital part of Monterey life until
over-fishing destroyed the industry in the 1950's. Nearby Cannery Row offers history and great night
life as well. For nature lovers, a trip along the cliffs of Big Sur is incomparable.
A stay at Casa Munras lets you go back in time without sacrificing the conveniences of the present. If
you want to visit this incredible area in style, a stay at the Hotel Casa Munras is the best possible
base of operations.
