The Coast Starlight’s stop in San Luis Obispo (‘SLO’ if you’re local) is strategically located within an hour-or-less drive of several notable destinations, like Hearst Castle in San Simeon or Pismo Beach for their famous clam chowder.

Design details like wrought iron Juliet balconies, 1920s exposed brick, and Persian rugs all give the historic property its distinct ambiance, and the restaurant—with its French bistro setting—brings Spanish flavors and local wines to life.
