Welcome to The Butler Hotel, San Luis Obispo’s most exclusive vacation destination. This renovated property, situated at the intersection of Monterey Street and California Boulevard, is your gateway to the incredible offering known as the Central Coast of California.

Enter through the historic 1950’s façade and you’ll immediately find yourself in a sophisticated haven infused with industrial yet modern design. Once inside, you'll discover this building’s industrial façade gives way to an unexpected array of sophisticated modern hospitality details. A striking monochromatic colour scheme contrasts with the existing faded façade of this historic mid-century industrial building.
With its strategic location, luxuriously modern appointments and contemporary atmosphere, The Butler puts you in prime position for a fantastic get-away for any occasion.

The Butler was envisioned as a one-of-a-kind hospitality experience that lay at the intersection of technology, design, and luxury. By repurposing yet respecting the existing industrial structure, this new vacation destination offering creates a unique visitor experience unlike any other. The heavily patina concrete floors and rusting steel panels of the existing building yield no clues as to what lies inside.

Secret passcodes and live video check-in live in harmony with historically significant artwork and repurposed elements, in what we like to call “retro-tech”. This concept continues in each meticulously appointed guestrooms, where you'll find classic mid-century furnishings that celebrate modern design. Feel free to relax in the intimate library lounge, or enjoy an afternoon sitting on the sun-drench outdoor patio. When you’re ready to venture out, our prime location puts you in the center of activity. Whether it’s a day of wine tasting, a mid-day massage, an intimate dinner, or a lively night on the town, the Butler is your gateway to a memorable stay.

You'll find the downtown SLO shopping and entertainment district within easy walking distance. Seek out local shops and galleries that lie just blocks away. Browse independent boutiques and jewelry studios to find that unique piece of the SLO life. The downtown district also boasts numerous award-wining restaurants, cafés and fine-dining experiences guaranteed to satisfy any foodie.

And at the end of the day, the Butler welcomes you back. Each meticulously appointed guest room feature lush carpets, custom lighting fixtures, and individually curated artwork. The elegantly finished bathrooms include floor-to-ceiling porcelain tile, custom marble and walnut counters, and modern furniture & fixtures. Guests are treated to cotton linens, duvets and pillows, along with custom robes, amenities and finishes, all intended to provide a memorable and lasting experience.

    Host was very quick to respond to communication and check in process was so easy! Parking was right next to entrance and there were no stairs. Attention to detail was appreciated: hand-written welcome note, snacks, coffee & tea and even a glass of wine were available. The place is tastefully decorated and comfortable and everything seemed new. There were bikes available to borrow but we didn’t have time to take advantage of that opportunity. The location was extremely convenient, walkable to downtown and CalPoly.

    Butler Hotel is very well located. Check in and check out very convenient. I will not that some rooms/my room are on a street that was very busy and noisy on Friday night.

    Fortunately, we were thw only guests while we stayed there. The self check-in was quick and convenient. The small parking lot was thankfully empty. The host was nice enough to leave complimentary drinks. We liked using the french press for our morning coffee, and the overall ambience was pretty and modern.

    My husband and I stayed for a few days for a weekend getaway. This spot was the perfect location. Very short walk into town but enough to stretch our legs after enjoying the Farmers Market and the amazing food in SLO. The property was beautiful and well-appointed. Definite Yes!

    I’m sensitive to traffic noise & drivers seem to rev engines a lot at this busy intersection. But hotel provides earplugs, which helped. And I played my SleepStream app, which helped. Lots of great thoughtful touches - enjoyed my stay overall ?
