How long has your inn operated in Carmel-by-the-Sea?
George Nagata, General Manager: We have been L'Auberge Carmel since 2002. The building was a 1929 apartment building called the Sundial Court apartments. As a lodging property, it was known as the Sundial Lodge for many years.
Are there any interesting historical or unique anecdotes about your property?
GN: We are one of the first buildings erected in Carmel. Still located next to City Hall, L'Auberge Carmel is considered a historic building.
