August 15, 2017 – The first guests are arriving this week at Pebble Beach’s newest lodging option Fairway One. Just in time for car week, executives from Ferrari have bought out the entire 38-room facility and will park 75 Ferraris along the first fairway at the famed Pebble Beach Golf Links.
Fairway One includes 30 guest rooms, many with ocean views, two four-bedroom cottages named for Arnold Palmer and Clint Eastwood and an elegant meeting facility. At the grand opening party last Friday, CEO Bill Perocchi said the new accommodations were the first step in a series of renovations leading up to the resort’s 100th anniversary in 2019—when it will host the U.S. Open championships.
“Guests at Fairway One will get the same style and services that you get at The Lodge, but with more privacy and upgraded quality,” he told a gathering of neighbors and local dignitaries.
Guest rooms, which are located in two-story hillside buildings, include fireplaces, luxurious baths, 55-inch flat-screen TVs and balconies overlooking the golf course. Prices start at $915 a night.
The two cottages are packed with amenities, including a 1,000 square foot living room with open-plan kitchen, a stacked stone fireplace and an outdoor terrace with fire pit, right at the edge of the fairway. Each cottage includes two king bedrooms and two double queen bedrooms. Fully occupied, they rent for around $6,500 a night.
The 2,500 square foot meeting room has floor-to-ceiling windows with views onto the golf links, as well as smaller meeting options such as an 65-seat board room, living room and patio.
In the lead up to the centennial of Pebble Beach, all of the 454 guest rooms at The Lodge, The Inn at Spanish Bay and Casa Palmero are being renovated. Perrochi said they are about halfway through that process and hope to finish in time for the U.S. Amateur golf championship in 2018. The U.S. Open in 2019 will be the sixth time Pebble Beach has hosted that prestigious event.
