MONTEREY, Calif. -- The Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa is unveiling three stay-and-play golf packages offering the best of all worlds: the opportunity to stay at a luxurious bayside hotel within walking distance of attractions such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and the chance to play one of the three courses the PGA Tour pros tackle during the annual pro-am at Pebble Beach.
In all, Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa is introducing three golf packages, two of which are gender-specific. Here are the details:
• Par for the Plaza. With rates starting at $515, this package includes two rounds at Poppy Hills Golf Course, which is one of the three rotating courses played each February during the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. In addition, guests will enjoy deluxe accommodations at the Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa and its stunning location overlooking Monterey Bay. The morning, meanwhile, will start right with complimentary in-room coffee and newspaper.
• Real Mancation. Guys looking for the ideal getaway will find everything they could wish for with this package, which includes two rounds of golf in Pebble Beach at Poppy Hills Golf Course; deluxe accommodations for two; chips, salsa and beers upon check-in; in-room movie; and a 30-second long-distance phone call to ensure everything is OK at home.
Rates start at $550, and add-on spa treatments are available at the hotel’s bay-view European spa, which is located on the penthouse floor.
• Girlfriends and Golf. The gals will be welcomed in their deluxe guestroom with a basket featuring fresh fruit, assorted cheeses and crackers and bottled water while having the opportunity to relax in the resort’s plush bathrobes and enjoy a complimentary in-room “chick flick.” The next day, it will be off to Poppy Hills Golf Course for two rounds of golf at one of the world’s most spectacular venues.
Rates start at $579, and add-on spa treatments are available at the hotel’s bay-view European spa, which is located on the penthouse floor.
All rates for the above three packages are per room, per night and based on double occupancy, and do not include taxes or gratuities. The golf component does not include a cart or club rentals. The packages all are available now through the end of the year, are based on availability and certain restrictions and blackout dates do apply.
In addition to offering “just-what-the-doctor-ordered” post-golf treatments (massages, body wraps and more), the spa also features a full-service, state-of-the-art fitness center.
The recipient of the coveted American Academy of Hospitality Sciences Five Star Diamond award, the property is ideally located on Monterey’s historic Cannery Row and within walking distance of the world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium and many other notable attractions.
World-class shopping awaits in both Carmel-by-the-Sea and Pebble Beach, and there are abundant recreational opportunities beyond golf: ocean kayaking from the hotel’s beach, sailing and whale watching, while numerous hiking and biking trails are easily accessible from the hotel.
The Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa is 100 percent non-smoking in all of its guestrooms and interior public spaces.
