Where to Find It

You’ll find this gem right in the middle of SLO (aka San Luis Obispo), a Central Coast town known for its chill energy, walkable streets, and endless wine country just a short drive away.

What to Expect & When to Go

Room Goals: Hotel Cerro brings it with sleek, modern design—but adds cozy, local touches. Think clean lines, plush bedding, and private balconies. Some suites even have outdoor soaking tubs that are practically begging to be on your Instagram.

Edible Garden & Rooftop Pool: The hotel’s rooftop isn’t just for lounging (though you’ll want to do plenty of that). There’s a stunning lap pool, mountain views, and a garden that feeds the on-site restaurant. Yes, those herbs in your cocktail were grown just a few feet away.

Spa Energy: If relaxation is top priority, hit the spa for a massage, facial, or just some quality steam room time. You’ll walk out feeling brand-new.

SLO Life Perks: Downtown’s shops, bars, and wine tasting rooms are just steps away, making it super easy to explore without ever getting in your car.
