But loyal guests will be pleased to note that the hotel\u2019s legacy\u2014including its\u00a0delicate balance of \u201chumble grandeur\u201d\u00a0and\u00a0its signature peachy-pink color (which famously was not approved by the city at first)\u2014remains intact.<\/p>\n<p>Originally built in 1905 by the landscape artist Chris Jorgensen for his wife, Angela Ghirardelli (of &#8220;chocolate family&#8221; fame), this castle by the sea was only a private residence for a short while before \u00a0becoming an upscale boarding house in 1916. Since then La Playa has seen a few different updates and expansions, and this latest is as much restoration as it is renovation.<\/p>\n<p>The 75 uniquely styled guest rooms have acquired an air of breezy, modern luxury, while the building itself remains true (or perhaps truer) to its original incarnation, replete with Jorgensen\u2019s stained-glass star window, as well as the beautiful fireplace and original tiled staircase that anchor the former living room (now reception). The hallways celebrate the area&#8217;s history with old photographs, maps, and theatre posters (which were once crammed onto the walls of the conference room).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/sf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/laplaya16203042012.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6402 lazyload\" title=\"laplaya16203042012\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/sf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/laplaya16203042012-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6402 lazyload\" title=\"laplaya16203042012\" src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/sf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/laplaya16203042012-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/laplaya16203042012-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/laplaya16203042012-37x25.jpg 37w, https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/laplaya16203042012.jpg 336w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a>What other traditions have stayed the same at La Playa Carmel?

And the bar remains a tribute to days past (but one with an updated small plates and drinks menu), and additional perks include the terrace with outdoor fireplace and a dinner shuttle to and from town.
