Distinctive Dining, Drink & Entertainment Experiences in Carmel

Indulge in a warm and welcoming culinary experience inspired by the French countryside. Vivante, meaning "alive," the signature restaurant of Hotel Carmichael serves fresh and vibrant menus of approachable French fare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with seasonal outdoor seating along the Monon Trail. Robust wine selections, immersive table-side action stations, and thoughtful extras like refreshing palate cleansers, truffles, and rich French press coffee are just a few of the ways Vivante creates a lasting impression beyond its creative culinary offerings.

An upscale entertainment venue developed in partnership with legendary musician Michael Feinstein, our signature cabaret offers a creative and inspiring space to enjoy live music, elevated menus, and a refined bar and spirits selection. Modeled after Feinstein's 54 Below in New York City and in the spirit of the Great American Songbook, this unique cabaret promises an unforgettable experience.

Centered around a grand piano and wood-burning fireplace with selections from the Great American Songbook providing the soundtrack, our lobby bar is an exceptional place to mix, mingle, and imbibe. Enjoy full bar service with classic cocktails, wines, and local brews while taking in the sights and sounds of the sprawling Hotel Carmichael lobby.
