Le Petit Pali

Le Petit Pali debuts with two properties, Le Petit Pali at Ocean Ave and Le Petit Pali at 8^th Ave, in the ever-charming Central California coastal town, with close proximity to the area's pristine shoreline, quaint dining and shopping district, and one of the most recognized residential enclaves in the country, admired by design and architecture aficionados from around the world.

"Le Petit Pali is our most personal vision of hospitality to-date," said Avi Brosh, founder of Palisociety. "We've woven together all the elements we love about a classic, small inn experience and paired it with the amenities, services and personal touches we know to be of particular importance for today's inspired traveler and brought it all to life in some of the most stunning locales in California. It's a new chapter that we are very proud of."

At Le Petit Pali, the guest experience is a carefully orchestrated one, with every detail and opportunity to delight considered. The hotels' design, courtesy of Brosh and the Palisociety in-house design team, layers the brand's signature look and feel with a refined and whimsical, yet inspired allure. A heavy adornment of personally chosen details, amenities and accoutrements lend each space a true air of comfortable, understated luxury that feels like a natural extension of Carmel's inimitable sense of casual and storied style.

The 34 newly designed guest rooms at Le Petit Pali at Ocean Ave, many with fireplaces, have a moody, seaside palette featuring sage green walls, natural jute rugs, rich wood furniture, vintage art and floral textiles mixed and matched throughout the space. A few blocks south, Le Petit Pali at 8^th Ave is home to 24 guest rooms in a classic California craftsman-style property surrounding a central, al fresco courtyard perched on a quiet Carmel Street. Accommodations there feature in-room fireplaces, suite layouts with graciously appointed living spaces and the same design imprint found on Ocean Ave, customized to each unique space. Every Le Petit Pali guest room is lovingly equipped with Diptyque bath amenities, Bellino fine linens, plush robes and slippers, Marshall speakers, and a generously curated mini bar featuring locally sourced items, a brand signature. Antipodes bottled water and Baci chocolates are delivered daily, on the house.

Beyond the guest room, Le Petit Pali shines with a thoughtful, almost theatrical approach to independent inn-keeping intended to ignite a memorable feeling that lingers far beyond your stay. Spaces exude a casual elegance with thought given to everything from the Diptyque Baies scent wafting through the air to the all-day soundtrack carefully compiled with a meticulous ear. Guests are greeted with warm hospitality and a relaxed, yet attentive sense of service at every turn. Never mind a perfect beverage. Common guest areas at both properties complement one another with roaring fireplaces, wood furniture and accents, oversized greenery and layered patterns and textiles in abundance. The effect is one that feels like an English-inspired beach cottage with a distinct, west coast air. At Le Petit Pali 8^th Ave, the indoor lounge is adjacent to a wood-clad dining area as well as an outdoor interior courtyard adorned with lush landscaping, and relaxed seating and heaters to keep the ocean breezes at bay.

A champagne continental breakfast awakens guests daily with tableside Taittinger, mimosas, green juice, tea, and freshly brewed coffee, alongside an assortment of locally baked pastries and sourdough bread from Rise + Roam bakery, topped with bright marmalades from Marmalade Grove. Seasonal and local fruit pairs with granola and Greek yogurt, while perfectly cooked 8-minute eggs offer savory sustenance. Throughout the day, guests are encouraged to explore the ever-charming streets and shores of Carmel with a suite of Linus bicycles and a highly personal and selective neighborhood guide at the ready. Guests are invited to hop between Le Petit Pali at 8^th Ave and Le Petit Pali at Ocean Ave at their leisure. When ready to rest between afternoon and evening, a guest-exclusive social hour awaits at each hotel with house made cocktails, fine wines and beers, and a rotating assortment of small bites and snacks from the very best of Carmel's dining visionaries, including The Stationaery, Chez Noir Carmel and Folktale Winery. Come evening, fresh cookies from local favorite, Rise + Roam Bakery, are delivered to each guest room and thoughtful touches like hot water bottle service are at the ready to usher you into an always restorative night's rest.

Le Petit Pali at Ocean Ave and Le Petit Pali at 8^th Ave are now open in Carmel-by-the-Sea. From there, the new brand will expand with forthcoming hotels in Brentwood (Los Angeles), Napa Valley and Laguna Beach, joining 16 existing Palisociety hotels across its Palihouse, Palihotel, ARRIVE by Palisociety and independently branded portfolios.
