The Charles Pacific Grove

"After 45 years of world travel and designing over 40 boutique hotels, I am coming back to my home town of Pacific Grove, CA to create a Stylish & Inclusive hospitality experience for today’s global traveler”

The Charles Pacific Grove isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to belong. A sanctuary of coastal beauty and classical design, it’s where Inclusivity meets Style, where guests can feel truly at home, wrapped in effortless comfort and warmth. Nestled along breathtaking coastal landscape and the endless Pacific, our boutique inn is the perfect destination to experience designer sophistication, with the charm of a seaside retreat.

Step inside, and let the journey begin…

Currently Under Renovation

The Charles is undergoing a stunning transformation, blending artistic sensibility, inclusivity, and sophisticated design while remaining open for bookings. Located in picturesque Pacific Grove, this reimagined boutique hotel will unveil its full renovation in June 2025, just in time for Pride Month. Owner Charles Gruwell invites guests to experience the evolution firsthand, where every detail is thoughtfully curated to create a stay as inspiring as the destination itself.
