Laguna Seca Raceway

The Monterey Peninsula’s love affair with world-class racing traces its beginning to 1950 and the inaugural running of the Pebble Beach Road Races. Those sports car events through the winding roads of the Del Monte Forest became immensely popular and brought prestige, fans and fame to the area. But, as the cars got faster and the crowds grew larger, it was decided that the race was too big for the open road. A group of civic-minded business leaders decided to build a permanent, first-class racing facility, now known as one of the best in the world.

The raceway property consists of elegant suites overlooking the track and is perfect for corporate groups or a casual day at a famous location. There is also great space for large tented events.
