Monterey CA Romantic Getaways - Honeymoon & Romantic Hotels

Named in 1602 by a Spanish explorer named Vizcaino, Monterey did not become part of Spanish territory until 1770 when it was founded as an administrative and military base for the territory. It was during the 19^th century that the United States took over the area during the Gold Rush. However, Monterey became something like a backwater during this period because it was hardly affected by the waves of population during the Gold Rush.

Aside from its undeniably interesting history though, Monterey has more to offer any interested traveler. For example, the Larkin House in Jefferson Street is a notable structure because it gives people a glimpse of what life was in Monterey during the past. Architecture in the Stevenson House is another notable attraction because it is filled with memorabilia and other interesting items as well.

However, one thing you should not miss in Monterey is its enjoyable outdoor recreational activities. Its proximity to various lakes and parks makes this area perfect to spend a rejuvenating time with your loved one. The bike path that runs along to Pacific Grove is a good place to visit because you can run for miles with your partner here.

Of course, your trip would not be complete without staying at beautiful and luxurious Monterey Romantic Resorts. We recommend the Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa because of its stunning European architecture and coastal views. Its location along the Cannery Row also makes this Monterey Romantic lodging a favorite place for couples.

Monterey has a long history of unique and fascinating romantic hotels.  Start with the Old Monterey Inn.  This place has a fireplace, extra soft down beds with extra Murphy beds in some of the rooms and an old-fashioned elevator that you have to close the grate on and uses an elevator operator.  Talk about a romantic atmosphere.  Many of Monterey’s boutique hotels and local bed and breakfasts offer all the charm and personality of a family run hotel with the efficiency and amenities of a major chain.  From internet access to rose petals on the bed, no matter what is important to you during your time away, Monterey’s romantic hotels can meet your requirements.  Consider getting a room in one of the hotels in Old Town Monterey so that you can walk to Fisherman’s Warf and take the short tram to Cannery Row where you can find many more romantic things to do.
