Madonna Inn - A distinctive San Luis Obispo hotel with themed rooms, steakhouse dining, and extensive event spaces
Set on 1000 acres featuring signature pink architecture, Madonna Inn combines uniquely themed accommodations with extensive dining and event facilities. The 4-star San Luis Obispo hotel showcases hand-carved wooden details, stained glass windows, and rock fireplaces built from local boulders weighing up to 200 tons. Dining options include Alex Madonna's Gold Rush Steakhouse with its opulent pink circular booths, the casual Copper Cafe serving American classics, and the Silver Bar Cocktail Lounge. Recreation facilities encompass a heated beach-entry pool, two whirlpools, regulation-size pink athletic courts for tennis and basketball, and horseback trail rides. The property houses over 20000 square feet of event space across multiple venues, including the Expo Center accommodating up to 2600 guests. Located just 2 miles from the Amtrak station and 6 miles from San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport, Madonna Inn provides access to downtown within a 5-minute drive.
Pros
Hand-carved marble balustrade from Hearst Castle adorns the Gold Rush dining room

Twenty-three acre Madonna Meadows provides event space with mountain views
Spa services include custom facials, massages and body treatments using premium products
Cons

“What distinguishes this landmark property is its commitment to themed rooms, creating an experience far removed from standard hotels. I find the steakhouse dining and on-site bakery particularly appealing, while the extensive spa and grounds offer ample opportunities for both relaxation and recreation. Its blend of history, entertainment, and distinctive character makes it a worthwhile destination.”
