Santa Ynez Valley

Danish Heritage and Modern Motel Ease in Solvang

Thoughtfully reimagined, the Viking Inn transforms a classic roadside motor lodge into a boutique motel with a modern, cozy vibe. Anchored by a 1920s cottage built by Danish immigrants, the property features bright, comfortable guest rooms surrounding a garden courtyard with fire pits and inviting outdoor gathering spaces. The pet-friendly motel offers contactless check-in and complimentary parking. Complimentary bicycles make it easy to explore Solvang’s Danish bakeries, shops, and restaurants, while a two-for-one tasting passport opens the door to more than 25 wineries, tasting rooms, breweries, and wine bars throughout the Santa Ynez Valley.
