Avants - Monterey Car Week 2026
Our favorite week of the year. From car spotting in Carmel to the famous Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, Monterey Car Week is jam-packed with amazing events. But it can definitely be a little overwhelming for first timers. Lodging can be particularly challenging to find. To help more Avants members experience Monterey Car Week, we’ve reserved a block of 13 rooms at Carmel Hill Lodge for August 13th - 17th. The hotel is conveniently located in downtown Monterey.
