If you are looking for dog friendly, upgraded accommodations, the Carmel Inn is the place. Rooms are huge, modern, with plenty of space for the two of us and our pup. It is located next to The Barnard and Crossroads shopping/dining/wine tasting plazas and it is a short walk to the Mission Basilica. The dog friendly Carmel Beach is 1.5 miles away and on Tuesday nights they host a Dog Bar in the courtyard (weather permitting) with live music, dogs, full bar and tasty appetizers. This is how you do a dog friendly getaway! Thank you!
