Hotel San Luis Obispo is a modern urban resort that embodies the essence of SLO. As grounded as the inland hills that surround it and as easygoing and playful as the quintessential California beach towns on its coast, Hotel San Luis Obispo is both a destination and an experience.

Designed around four key objectives - casual, local, hand-crafted, and wellness - Hotel SLO will be a contemporary boutique hotel in downtown San Luis Obispo. The design aims to engage the hotel’s surroundings with amenities featuring two fine-dining experiences, a full bar, pool, 78 guest rooms, and 6 treatment room spa, all drawing inspiration from an energetic material palette derived from the central California coast.
