3 fabulous Paso Robles boutique lodges for that 2021 wine tasting jaunt

There is definitely no lack of chain resorts along Highway 101, but the boutique hotels that started popping up in Paso Robles over the past decade or so are a bonus for wine enthusiasts who like their lodgings as luxe as their rosé. Below are a few possibilities to investigate on your next Paso weekend.

The Piccolo

The Martin relatives, which also owns the historic Paso Robles Inn, opened their modern new Piccolo hotel just steps from the city’s principal square in October 2019 to plenty of excitement. With its brick facade, soaring ceilings and 4-story edifice, the position seems to be contemporary and historic at the exact time. And with the city’s only rooftop bar and a Champagne vending device in the lobby, the swank component is appreciable.

ZZZ’S: The Piccolo’s 24 sleek visitor rooms are modern and timeless, with distressed brick accent partitions, gleaming chandeliers and muted, rosy colour palettes. The lighting fixtures and furniture are all locally produced, from the chandeliers by Santa Maria-dependent blacksmith Hans Duus to the nightstands by Janine Stone of If You Give a Woman a Observed. Sink into your comfortable king dimensions bed, secure in the knowledge that your vineyard purchases are cozy, far too — in your room’s wine fridge.

SPLASHES: A huge walk-in shower, rainwater shower head and fluffy towels await.

EXTRAS: That foyer vending device is stocked with splits of Moet & Chandon to love in your home. Or you can head upstairs to the Tetto rooftop bar, open Wednesday-Sunday, for sunset sips, light bites and winery sights.

Specifics: Rooms start off at $399. 600 12th St. www.thepiccolo.com

Hotel Cheval

Keeping at Paso Robles’ Hotel Cheval — the city’s grandaddy of boutique lodges opened in 2007 — is a tiny like hanging out at the house of a abundant, generous, horse-loving aunt who’s provided you and some pals her tasteful ranch although she’s off to Paris. Her impeccable taste can be seen just about everywhere, from the lobby’s assortment of antique stirrups from South American gauchos, to the wonderfully made courtyard with several fireplaces, and the library with its comfy leather-based chairs, board games and candy jars.

Just off the town’s primary sq., the inn is quick walking length to stores and places to eat. But as soon as you’ve settled into what TripAdvisor vacationers voted “Best Smaller Hotel” in the U.S., you could not want to leave.

ZZZ’S: Every of the 16 rooms has an equine concept, like “Trumpeter,” named after a legendary racehorse and properly appointed with substantial wood-beamed ceilings, first artwork, a private patio and an exceptionally snug California king mattress with high thread-rely linens.

SPLASHES: The loos are superior-conclude, as perfectly, with an great tiled, European wander-in shower.
