The Asilomar Conference Center is located on 105 acres of forest, dune and beach at the tip of California's historic Monterey Peninsula. Overlooking the Pacific, living and meeting accommodations are set among Monterey pines and cypresses. Asilomar State Beach has a mile-long beach frontage. The Center has a heated swimming pool, horseshoe pits, volleyball courts, and an exercise trail. Hotel rates include meals in the historic Crocker dining Hall, built in 1918.
Vegetarian plates are available and special dietary needs can be accommodated with advance notice.
The original buildings were designed by the noted California architect Julia Morgan. Because Asilomar is a National Historical landmark, restoration and preservation of its environmental, cultural and historic legacy is at the core of its philosophy. Room accommodations are charming and comfortable, with private baths, but without TVs and phones. Pay phones are available.
