Artwork

Sally Parke was the sister of James Parke, the original owner of the Martine Inn. She was an excellent early California landscape painter who studied in Paris, France. The Martine Inn showcases a variety of her paintings throughout the mansion including many other famous artists who captured the Monterey Peninsula. Make sure to check out these beautiful pieces to get a glimpse of Monterey almost 100 years ago!

Game Room

The Martine Inn offers a Game Room including an 1880’s pool table from Rochester, a 1930’s Jennings dime slot machine and an 1890 White Oak Master Cushion. Be sure to view the original stained glass window from the M.G. Factory located in England, the historic Mercedes Benz posters and Don Martine’s personal MG trophy case.

The Courtyard

The Courtyard includes three oriental ponds with an arched bridge over the center pond. Due to one of the Parke’s daughters falling into one of the ponds, the family decided to fill two of the three ponds and cement in a shuffle board area for safety precautions.  The Courtyard is an intimate area which is ideal for reading or sunbathing.

Library

The Library hosts over 1,000 books, current magazine and portfolios of the Martine Inn’s restoration. Guests are more than welcome to enjoy a game of checkers, read or lounge by the warming fireplace.  Guests can view old images of the Parke family as well as family photos of Don Martine.  

Antique Silver Collection

The use of antique silver in the late 1800's is one of the major changes in lifestyle between then and now. The Martine Inn has an extensive collection including flatware and hollow-ware from the 1700’s, 1800’s and early 1900’s. Our staff uses spoon warmers, asparagus trays, tongs and merry-go-round cruet sets. The Martine Inn’s flatware silver set which includes 40 pieces to each place setting and 86 serving pieces is Lancaster Rose made by Gorham and introduced in 1896. 

Reproducing Piano

Hear the actual style and personality of many of the great pianists of the 1920's and 1930's on our 1923 reproducing baby grand piano. The rolls were made by the pianist playing on a special machine that measured volume, speed, intensity and inflection. The special rolls contain 10 more lines of information than a normal piano. Only the very wealthy of the early 1900's could afford the rolls which typically cost more than a factory worker's day's pay.

Ice & Beverages

If you’d like ice, our staff would be happy to bring it to you. It will be presented to you on a silver tray with the appropriate beverage glasses. This service is available from 9:00AM to 9:00PM.
