You don’t have to stay at Hotel San Luis Obispo to enjoy most of the resort’s diverse array of amenities—outdoor rooftop dining, spa offerings, courtyard concerts, art classes, and much more. But patrons—whether they be out-of-towners or Central Coast locals seeking a luxurious staycation—who do decide to book one of the resort’s rooms, suites, or studios for a night, or two, or three, or indefinitely have the distinct honor of lodging at the Best Hotel or Resort in all of San Luis Obispo County. So, what are you waiting for? Grab your luggage!
