Hotels in San Luis Obispo County, CA, United States

San Luis Obispo County lies midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco on California's Central Coast, where the Mediterranean climate gives you warm, dry summers averaging 85°F (29°C) and mild, wet winters around 60°F (16°C). The region is famous for its Edna Valley wine country and the iconic Hearst Castle in San Simeon, a hilltop mansion built by newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst. In winter, you can tour the castle's 165 rooms and gardens without the summer crowds, while summer invites you to hike the bluffs at Montana de Oro State Park or kayak through the calm waters of Morro Bay, looking for sea otters and the 576-foot volcanic peak known as Morro Rock.
