History
The Hotel Del Monte was a large resort hotel in Monterey, California, from its opening in 1880 until 1942. It was one of the finest luxury hotels in North America. The property extended south and southeast of the hotel and included gardens, parkland, polo grounds, a race track, & a golf course. Originally used for hunting and other outdoor activities, the hotel's property became Pebble Beach, an unincorporated resort community, and the world-famous Pebble Beach Golf Links. The famous 17-Mile Drive was originally designed as a local excursion for visitors to the Del Monte to take in the sights of Monterey and Pacific Grove and the scenery of what would become Pebble Beach.The hotel became popular with the wealthy and influential of the day, and guests included Theodore Roosevelt and Ernest Hemingway, as well as many early Hollywood stars. During WWII, it closed and the building was leased to the US Navy becoming the Naval Postgraduate School.
