Hotel SLO
WINNER

Bringing a refined, design-forward sensibility to California’s Central Coast, Hotel San Luis Obispo serves as a polished home base for exploring the region’s celebrated wine country and coastal landscapes. Honored with a MICHELIN Guide One Key in 2024, the 78-room property blends elevated hospitality with a strong sense of place. Guests can move seamlessly from rooftop cocktails at High Bar to dining at Piadina, a fresh California take on Italian cuisine, and Ox + Anchor, a MICHELIN-recognized modern steakhouse led by Executive Chef Ryan Fancher. Nearly 10,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space—from an intimate wine cellar to a rooftop terrace—accommodates everything from private gatherings to large-scale celebrations. Located in the heart of downtown San Luis Obispo, just minutes from the coast, the hotel offers easy access to wineries, beaches, and hiking trails, while thoughtful touches like refillable water stations and EV charging reflect a commitment to sustainability.
