History
[edit]
Its overall architectural style is from the turn-of-the century Arts and Crafts movement.[2]
The Highlands Inn was completed in 1917, with an official opening taking place on July 28, 1917.[3][4][5]
In 1922, Devendorf sold the Highlands Inn to Edward H. Tickle, later California State senator for Monterey.[6] In 1925, the articles of incorporation of the Highlands Inn Co., were filed in the County Clerk office.[7]
The Highlands Inn was sold in 1981, to a group of investors.[8] In 1984, the Highlands Inn won first place in the historical renovation category of the Project Design Award presented by the American Society of Interior Designers.[2]: p146 The renovation of the Highlands Inn was completed in May 1985. Will Shaw won a Top Honor Award from the American Institute of Architecture for the design.[1]
The Highlands Inn came under the ownership of Hyatt in 1995, and the company continues to operate the establishment as a hotel.[9] In 1998, Condé Nast Traveler selected the Highlands Inn as one of the top 50 resorts in the U.S. for offering rooms with views.[10] In 2011, Hyatt's Carmel Highlands was included in the Travel + Leisure list of the 500 Best Hotels in the World for that year.[11]
