Hotel El Roblar: A Restored 1920s Hotel in the Ojai Valley

Hotel El Roblar is the beating heart of downtown Ojai, a lovingly restored 1920s hotel on Ojai Avenue in the artsy, spiritual valley ringed by the Topatopa Mountains, whose famous 'pink moment' sunsets have drawn seekers and artists for a century. Spanish-Californian in spirit, it pairs old-world charm with a lively contemporary energy.

The dining is a local draw. Condor Bar serves modern Californian-Mexican cuisine from a custom Santa Maria wood-fired grill, with an agave-rich beverage program, under chef Brandon Boudet; the daytime café La Cocina, the cozy Snug lobby bar and a Topatopa-facing poolside complete the offering.

For a charming, valley-set Ojai stay, El Roblar is a standout.
