Monterey Hotel Celebrates 5 Year Anniversary

 

It seems like just yesterday construction was underway on Cannery Row to bring in a new, fashionable hotel to the struggling tourism hotbed along the beautiful Monterey Bay, but it's been five years since the InterContinental The Clement Monterey opened its doors to the public.  

The hotel isn't slowing down either.

Its C-side patio has introduced several enhancements and décor changes that make the delightful waterfront experience even more engaging.  An attractive glass addition surrounds a portion of the space, allowing unobstructed ocean views but providing  protection from gentle bay breezes. Stylish heaters add warmth and visual interest, and the new soft seating area provides a welcoming and comfortable environment to linger over small plates and a variety of beverages.

By Jasmine Viel - email

MONTEREY, Calif.- A new festival is replacing the down and out Monterey Bay Blues Festival this summer at the Monterey County Fairgrounds to even include a reality TV star.
