History of the Monterey Bay Inn

In the early 1900's, Cannery Row was the bustling center of the area's sardine canning industry. However, a deadly fire in 1924 and over fishing eventually lead to Cannery Row's decline by the end of World War II. Inspired by the publication of John Steinbeck's Cannery Row, restoration efforts on the historic row increased. The Monterey Bay Inn was built during Cannery Row's modern renaissance and today stands as a gateway to this historic area. Architect Will Shaw was inspired by the spirit and character of the old cannery buildings, and sought to inject the spirit of industrial ingenuity with a renewed sense of contemporary sophistication.
