Nestled along the shoreline of California's famed Monterey Peninsula, Asilomar is a tranquil ocean front retreat cradled by forests and white sand beaches. Designed by acclaimed architect Julia Morgan and embracing the Arts & Crafts architectural style, Asilomar harmonizes with its natural surroundings and has played host to thousands of visitors since its founding in 1913. Rich with history, scenic beauty and serenity, Asilomar is the ideal location for group meetings, corporate retreats, weddings, family reunions and vacation getaways.

I was thrilled with the toiletries in the bathrooms, they were environmentally friendly. I was very glad that there was wireless internet access in the main hall. I always disliked those horrible plastic feeling comforters or bedspreads in hotels with those sweaty acrylic blankets. The nature surrounding the grounds was very nice. I had seen a deer outside my room one morning.
I am somewhat likely
to return to the Asilomar Conference Grounds.
I might recommend it to friends.
