South of Monterey in the secluded CarmelBy-The-Sea,
lies La Playa Carmel-a recently
restored 75-room historic resort within walking
distance of shopping, galleries, restaurants, and
the beautiful beaches of Carmel-By-The-Sea.
" Probably one of the marquee things that
Monterey County has to offer-and especially the
little enclave of Carmel-By-The-Sea--is the ability
to get outside and commune with nature and all
the beautiful landscape that it affords you. " Sammy
Ramos director of sales La Playa Hotel
In addition, planners have access to an
additional 30 rooms at the Hotel Carmel, also

" PROBABLY ONE OF THE MARQUEE
THINGS THAT MONTEREY COUNTY HAS
TO OFFER--AND ESPECIALLY THE LITTLE
ENCLAVE OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA--IS THE
ABILITY TO GET OUTSIDE AND COMMUNE
WITH NATURE AND ALL THE BEAUTIFUL
LANDSCAPE THAT IT AFFORDS YOU. "

supported by state-of-the-art technology and
dedicated destination management services. But
despite its old-world aesthetic and secluded location,
La Playa Carmel is easily accessible as it's
located only seven miles from the Monterey Airport.
The versatile meeting spaces at La Playa include
the 2,160-square-foot Pacific Room, which can
comfortably seat 150 for banquets, 200 for a
standing reception and 60 for conferences. The
venue also quarters several smaller rooms that can
accommodate groups of 10-22-all immersed in
the natural beauty
of the coastal
region.
Named for the
former owner of
La Playa, Howard
" Bud " Allen,
Bud's offers a
high-end take on
American classics
complimented
by an inspired
list of signature
cocktails, including
the whiskey-forward " The Mayor, " based on the
lore of Bud Allen's convincing Clint Eastwood that
he should run for office opposed to just sitting
around and complaining.
MAKE A SPLASH
Meeting profs can inspire attendees with a tour of
the Monterey Bay Aquarium-home to a wide
variety of amazing aquatic wildlife, located less
than two miles from hotels and the conference
center in Monterey's historic Cannery Row. The
aquarium's Splash Zone Exhibit is home to a
colony of African Penguins that are part of the
Species Survival Plan for endangered African
penguins at the aquarium. Visitors can also get an
inside look into five different habitats of Monterey
Bay at the 90-foot, hourglass-shaped exhibit of the
deep reefs with sharks, massive sea bass and flat
fish skimming the sandy ocean floor.
The aquarium is also available for hosting both

virtual and in-person events that support aquatic
wildlife and the ongoing efforts to protect ecosystems,
combat climate change and reduce
the amount of plastic circulating throughout the
oceans. Planners have access to multiple meeting
spaces that can be transformed to create unique
experiences with numerous programs and educational
opportunities to create engaging experiences
led by experts.
All events hosted at the aquarium are certified as
CarbonNeutral by Natural Capital Partners. Other
carbon emissions are reduced by locally sourcing
all menu items, with all other emissions, including
travel and hotel stays, offset by partnering with
the Million Mangrove campaign that supports the
planting of the Mangrove " wonder tree, " which can
store large amounts of carbon.
TEED UP TO
SPARK INSPIRATION
The world-renowned golf course at Pebble Beach
Resorts is rated as the number one golf resort in
the U.S. with three courses on the coast of the
Monterey Peninsula that give attendees the chance
to tee it up like a pro while engaging in team
building through a once in a lifetime experience.
Since 1919, the mystical surroundings and
extravagant accommodations of Pebble Beach
have attracted legendary visitors such as Winston
Churchill, Clint Eastwood, Bill Murray and Tiger
Woods among many others.
But golf isn't the only thing Pebble Beach has
in store to help meeting profs elevate their events
to the next level. The Spa at Pebble Beach
provides guests with relaxing experiences including
Massages, facial and aesthetic treatments and
body treatments among others-using plants,
herbs and minerals indigenous to the Monterey
Peninsula. What's more, The Spa at Pebble Beach
received the Forbes Five-Star Award and is one of
