Carmel: Tradewinds Carmel; hotel review

Mission St./Third Ave., (800) 624-6665, (831) 624-2776.  28 rooms.  Some gas fireplaces.  Snack basket; continental breakfast.  Pets ok. 

Located in a quiet area just three blocks from town, the Asian-inspired Tradewinds Carmel boutique hotel has a central courtyard meditation garden featuring a large stone fire pit, a cascading fountain, and a life-size Buddha statue.  Throughout the hotel, ornately carved screens, Balinese fabrics and furnishings, and sleek contemporary accents create subdued surroundings.  Guests receive an orchid stem at the desk when they arrive, and cookies and cool water are provided in the lobby every afternoon.  Guest rooms are large and decorated with Asian prints, stalks of bamboo, and orchids, and they are stocked with soft rayon robes from Bali.  Bathrooms are nicely decorated and feature an earth-tone stone-tile floor, a spacious granite vanity, and either a soaking or jetted tub.  Some third-floor rooms have distant ocean views available from a balcony.
