"Start your morning off with a delicious coffee and house-made pastries from our Peet's Coffee, right off the lobby here at the Portola. The muffins are my favorite. "
– Allison Smith, Reservations Manager
"Relax by the pool with one of our signature mock and/or cocktails and soak up the sunshine!"
– Will Clark, Sales Manager
"Enjoy an amazing bike ride from the hotel to historic, Cannery Row (also home to the Monterey Bay Aquarium) while taking in the breathtaking ocean-side along the Coastal Recreation Trail scenic route."
– Espi Rodriguez, Director of Housekeeping
"Get to know the history of Monterey! Beginning just steps outside of the Portola Hotel along the City's Path of History – follow the yellow medallions. I remember when I moved here and I had no idea how much of California's history, originated here in Monterey. Explore historic adobes and gardens too – many of which are located, right outside the Portola, most within walking distance."
– Mae Maher, Front Office Manager
"The best way to make the most of your Portola Hotel experience is to find a place for one stop shopping! The Portola Hotel has it all, from an early wake-up call in Peet's Coffee, to enjoying a breakfast buffet in The Club Room, to hosting a private work meeting in Jacks Monterey and even enjoying a craft beer in Peter B's Brewpub after a long day of work. It just doesn't get any better than that!"
