Pebble Beach is one of the most iconic destinations in American hospitality, and The Lodge at Pebble Beach has always been the heart of that experience. Now, following an extensive transformation of guestrooms, public spaces, and signature dining venues, the historic property has reopened—ushering in a new era while staying true to the character that has defined it for over a century.

For travelers who appreciate classic coastal luxury paired with thoughtful innovation, the new Lodge at Pebble Beach presents an opportunity to rediscover a beloved landmark.

What Makes This Reopening Significant?

The Lodge at Pebble Beach didn’t simply undergo a renovation—it experienced a top-to-bottom conceptual refresh meant to elevate the guest experience while preserving its history. As Pebble Beach Company CEO David Stivers explained, the reopening marks “a fresh identity” for one of the resort’s most cherished settings.

This transformation included:

• Redesigned guestrooms
• Updated public spaces
• Enhancements to The Tap Room
• Refreshed interiors at The Bench
• A complete reimagining of Stillwater, the resort’s signature restaurant

As a result, The Lodge feels more open, modern, and coastal, yet unmistakably Pebble Beach.

What’s New at Stillwater?

Stillwater has long been one of Pebble Beach’s most memorable dining rooms—but its redesign elevates it into a destination of its own.

Design Highlights

Stillwater’s new aesthetic draws inspiration from its coastal surroundings and historical elegance. Key features include:

• Floor-to-ceiling windows wrapping around the main dining room
• A central bar positioned to maximize sweeping ocean views
• Vaulted ceilings with soft brick arches
• A glass-enclosed wine room acting as an architectural focal point
• A private dining room featuring a custom ceramic school-of-fish sculpture hand cast in Staffordshire, England
• Axminster carpeting and wrought iron chandeliers that balance coastal texture with timeless sophistication

The result is a dining room that feels airy, refined, and deeply connected to the landscape outside.

A Coastal-Inspired Culinary Program

Executive Chef Benjamin Brown and Chef de Cuisine Alex Ramirez have created a menu that reflects Pebble Beach’s access to farms and fisheries. Standout dishes include:

• Charred Hamachi Tostada
• Dungeness Crab Pancake
• Whole Roasted Branzino
• Charred Zabuton Steak from Snake River Farms
• Pan-Seared Crème de Brie & Mushroom Baguette

The beverage lineup adds to the experience, with an extensive wine cellar, curated wine flights, seasonal cocktails, rare bourbons, and premium tequilas.

Stillwater Hours:

• Breakfast: 7:30–10:30 a.m.
• Lunch: 11:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m.
• Dinner: 5:30–9:00 p.m.

What Else Has Been Updated at The Lodge?

Pebble Beach ensured that every signature space contributes to the refreshed guest experience.

The Tap Room

Reopened in October, The Tap Room now includes enhanced interiors and new golf memorabilia. A standout piece: Tom Watson’s wedge, famously used during his legendary chip-in at the 1982 U.S. Open.

The Bench

Reopened in June, The Bench continues to offer its beloved wood-fired cuisine overlooking the 18th hole of Pebble Beach Golf Links. Updated interiors give it a fresh yet familiar feel.
