The Casa Munras Hotel, Circa 1820
Monterey, California
Renovation 2007
Cost $6M
Portions of the hotel were originally built in 1820 as the
personal residence of Don Esteban Munras, the last
diplomat from Spain to Mexico. The residence was a
traditional Spanish mission-style home with three foot
thick walls, twelve foot ceilings on the first floor and The Casa Munras Hotel - Monterey, California
ten foot ceilings on the second floor. All original wood
joists were hand cut redwood--some over thirty feet in
length.
The one year renovation included the main building,
partial kitchen, bar, courtyard, pool, 196 guestrooms
and the creation of a new spa in former commercial
tenant spaces. The lobby and meeting room floors are
Australian Eucalyptus and the retrofitted windows are
Brazilian Mahogany - both sustainable building
products.
A significant amount of the Carmel stone used to face New lobby and guest registration
the new lobby/bar fireplace was harvested from the The Casa Munras Hotel - Monterey, California
old footings of removed adobe walls. The remaining
original walls were reinforced with inlet steel moment
frames and drilled epoxy all thread rods.
The main building was gutted on both floors. New HVAC,
plumbing, and a new electrical service was installed.
The upper floors are configured to accommodate five
new luxury rooms with soaking tubs and separate Kohler
designer series showers. All of the quest rooms were
renovated with new interior surfaces, appliances,
furniture and window treatment.
