About this property

Luxurious modern downtown hotel

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.

Great vibe & amenities!
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 💝

Best place to stay in SLO
We mistakenly got our check in time wrong and was graciously accommodated. Our room was immaculate with plenty of room and stylishly designed. The amenities are of high quality and even though on a busy street it was quiet. We have stayed in SLO for the past seven years and this will be the only place we stay from now on.

Great Hotel
This is more like a hotel than a place all to yourself. They have the check in/out completely figured out. It’s very comfortable. I think there are 6 total rooms. It would be SUPER COOL for a large group to rent the whole thing

Soft bed, lovely room, best shared kitchen, amazing customer service
I like a place that's centrally located where I can walk to get food and downtown, have a lovely decorated room that's quiet at night with great AC and an amazing bed with a kitchen where I don't listen to the sound of the fridge all night and great customer support, and the Butler has all this! I love that it's a boutique experience where there's limited guests staying and you're not disturbed by staff. Yet, I felt like whatever I needed was a text message away! I used to live in SLO and also stayed in several hotels and VRBO's back visiting over the years, and this is, by far, the VERY BEST! Just a note, yep, it's on a busy intersection but the road traffic ends around 10pm and the neighborhood is quiet. I'm super sensitive to this, and it passed muster.
