With Janine Chicourrat, General Manager of the Portola Hotel & Spa.
As much as I love going to Pebble Beach, I love staying at the Portola Hotel & Spa (& Brewery, see the video to understand!). Located right in the heart of downtown Monterey, on the waterfront with everything close by, it feels like home to me. I love knowing the history of the area and with a helpful and attentive staff, I feel like I am making a little history every time I visit. At least in my own mind, in my own life. I like thinking about Spanish Army Captain Portola discovering Monterey in 1770 and Samuel F.B. Morse developing the Monterey Peninsula and Pebble Beach in 1919. When you come to visit Monterey and stay at the Portola, I am sure you will feel the same natural feelings for the landscape and beauty of the area as others have since time began.
