Carmel Green Lantern Inn, a historic boutique hotel in Carmel-by-the-Sea, has completed a series of permitted bathroom renovations and wider property updates aimed at enhancing the guest experience while honoring the inn’s original character. Situated just steps from the ocean and downtown, Carmel Green Lantern Inn has been part of the village’s fabric since the 1920s and continues to welcome visitors with its timeless charm and quiet coastal appeal.
The most visible changes come through the recently permitted bathroom renovations, which have improved functionality and comfort in several guest accommodations. These projects introduced updated fixtures, tile, and finishes designed to reflect the inn’s relaxed, seaside style. At the same time, care was taken to preserve the integrity of each room and maintain a sense of continuity with the rest of the property.
Elsewhere throughout the inn, guests will notice refreshed furnishings, textiles, and decorative touches that enhance the overall atmosphere. These updates were carried out with an eye toward consistency and comfort, allowing Carmel Green Lantern Inn to retain its historic ambiance while offering guests a more polished and welcoming experience.
“Restoring the Green Lantern Inn has been a labor of love,” said the owner of Carmel Green Lantern Inn. “We’ve honored its historic charm while updating each room with modern comforts, creating a welcoming, peaceful retreat in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea.”
Carmel Green Lantern Inn’s history dates back to the 1920s, when Carmel-by-the-Sea was still taking shape as a coastal haven for artists, writers, and travelers drawn to its natural beauty and bohemian energy. The inn’s layout, with its collection of freestanding cottages and rooms tucked along garden paths, reflects that early village character. Its distinct shingled architecture and flowering courtyards have remained largely unchanged for decades, even as the guest experience has steadily evolved.
Over the years, Carmel Green Lantern Inn has become known for its quiet setting, friendly service, and central location. Its longevity is a reflection of both its loyal guest following and the care with which the property has been maintained. Recent efforts build on that tradition, using selective updates to restore and refresh key areas of the inn without erasing what makes it so beloved.
Guests staying at Carmel Green Lantern Inn today can expect the same convenient access to Carmel Beach, Ocean Avenue’s shops and galleries, and the village’s renowned food and wine scene. At the same time, they’ll notice brighter and more functional spaces that support a relaxing stay.
Carmel Green Lantern Inn remains committed to preserving its place as a true boutique hotel in Carmel-by-the-Sea, one that honors its history while continuing to evolve thoughtfully for the future. With a renewed focus on comfort and presentation, the inn is ready to welcome both longtime visitors and first-time guests looking for a peaceful coastal retreat.
