As a previous mayor of Carmel, Eastwood had strong ties to the community and was responsible for many landmark civic initiatives.
Although it was not during his time as mayor, Clint Eastwood and Christina Sandera first met paths in this charming environment.

Originally intended for development, the hotel was rescued from demolition and is now a beloved resort and icon in the area, thanks to Eastwood’s passion project.
