Calling all history buffs! Built in 1871, The Upham Hotel & Country House is the oldest continuously operating hotel in Southern California. It's located just two blocks from downtown. Great shops, theaters, parks and restaurants are all within easy walking distance. The main hotel features 58 rooms to suit every size need, from cottage rooms to master suites, all beautifully furnished. The onsite restaurant, Louie's Bistro, celebrates Central Coast flavors in an intimate setting - there's even a three-seat wine bar. Across the street is their Country House, featuring bed and breakfast style accommodations with luxury accents, like waterfall showers and sunny verandas. And, since we're okay with spreading rumors, you should know that George Clooney has been sighted here more than once.
