At high tide, guests of the Spindrift Inn stand directly over the ocean, enjoying great views of the bay, sailboats, fishing boats, and kayaks. The inn, which is intimate and luxurious, provides an oasis in the hurly-burly of raucous Cannery Row. It’s a top-quality hotel that pays attention to detail. The atrium lobby has hand-tiled floors, antiques, and a wood-burning fireplace; guest rooms have window seats, plush carpeting, marble vanities, and canopy beds, and some offer views of the ocean. The on-site restaurant specializes in pan-Asian cuisine.
