San Luis Obispo

Victorian Charm in the Heart of Downtown SLO

Occupying a beautifully restored Victorian mansion in the heart of downtown San Luis Obispo, Garden Street Inn pairs historic elegance with one of the city’s most walkable locations. Each of the intimate inn’s 13 guest rooms has its own personality, with original stained-glass windows, antique furnishings, and thoughtful modern comforts; some also feature fireplaces and private decks. Settle in with a book from the library, linger over coffee on the shaded outdoor deck, or step outside to explore downtown’s boutiques, restaurants, and historic Mission. Each morning begins with a freshly prepared breakfast served in the light-filled dining room.
