Welcome to San Luis Obispo
Bordered by green mountain peaks with a quaint downtown and ideal weather minutes from the Pacific Ocean, San Luis Obispo is a California dream. The city is known for its laid-back charm — commonly referred to as “The SLO Life” — while also offering plenty of fun things to do and see.
A wide range of accommodations include small independent inns, large chain hotels, bed and breakfasts and homestays, making it easy for anyone to experience the SLO Life. You can find more information on the local area, including accommodations, on the Visit San Luis Obispo and Visit SLO CAL websites.
