While this Montery California event facility is decidedly earthy, comfortable and barefoot intimate, that doesn't mean anyone is compromising on creature comforts or technologies! Wireless Internet access is present in meeting rooms (surplus applies.) While guest rooms do not have phones or television, that's an intentional choice, not a limitation. Up to 800 people can attend an event, and just under 700 can stay overnight. The Merrill Hall auditorium seats 650 and features a stage and Baldwin grand piano. The largest of 28 meeting rooms, the Chapel seats 195 and offers a Steinway grand piano in its classroom-style environment. Two of the other rooms, the Marlin and Sanderling, also have pianos.
There are three types of lodgings available at Asilomar event facility. Historic rooms are found in buildings built from 1913-1928, and feature hardwood floors, rustic-styled furnishings, and private baths. Standard rooms are decorated in a contemporary style and also have private baths with showers. Some even have a fireplace, patio or balcony! The suites can accommodate up to eight guests with plenty of elbow room!
Dry-cleaning services are available, and guests can enjoy a brisk swim in the Pacific ocean or relax in a 30' x 80' pool, open every day during daylight hours. Bicycles are available for rent, and cribs and extra beds can be provided with advance notice.
