Bernardus Lodge
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels, Wine
Another Northern California getaway, the Bernardus Lodge is an adobe-like hotel which is located in the Carmel Valley.
The hotel includes 57 rooms each with a stone fireplace, French doors and a private deck or patio. The lodge also has a
spa with eight treatment rooms, a warming room, exercise area and sauna and steam facilities. The lodge is eight miles
from the tourist stop of Carmel-by-the-Sea but is usually warmer and sunnier than the often foggy coastline. One of the
main features of the lodge is that it is located next to the Bernardus Winery.
The lodge's pricey gourmet restaurant, Marinus, takes its name from the Marinus vineyard which produces a rich Cabernet
Sauvignon blend. Their Pure Indulgence package includes five nights of accommodations, a welcome basket, two robes and
four 50-minute spa treatments. The package also comes with a full breakfast daily, one dinner for two at Wickets
Bistro, and two dinners for two at Marinus (up to $150 each) and costs $2930-$3905. The reviews on Trip
Advisor are generally positive although some visitors did say that it is a bit overpriced.
