Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa

Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa spans 22 tree-lined acres within walking distance of the Pacific Ocean and Del Monte Golf Course in Monterey, California. The legendary Pebble Beach Company operates the Del Monte layout along with three more courses nearby: the Links at Spanish Bay, Pebble Beach, and Spyglass Hill courses. Groups find themselves not only in a golfers' paradise but also ensconced at the largest luxury conference hotel between San Francisco and Los Angeles.

The hotel's 32 meeting rooms add up to 40,000 square feet, including 10,000 square feet of prefunction space and 19,000 square feet for exhibits. State-of-the-art lighting and audiovisuals, high-speed Internet access, and a staff of consummate professionals ensure productive—and memorable—events of every size and purpose.

The recent completion of a $60-million renovation refreshed all accommodations, including the President's House, a freestanding four-bedroom home with private pool, kitchen, and living and dining rooms ideal for entertaining. The investment also brought a restyled lobby, TusCA Ristorante, new executive-level Regency Club, and a StayFit@Hyatt Health Club. The newest addition, the brand-new 12,000-square-foot Accista Spa, captures the essence of Monterey in both design and indigenously inspired treatments.

The additions round out such original attractions as golf on the Del Monte course, sunning at two pools, tennis at the racquet club, and unwinding with colleagues at Knuckles Sports Bar Monterey—voted the No. 1 sports bar on the Monterey Peninsula seven years in a row.
