The first time I saw The Madonna Inn on instagram my first thought was oh my – what and where is this place because I must go! Founded in 1958, The Madonna Inn is a motel off the highway about halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles in San Luis Obispo. Each one of the 110 rooms have a unique theme and in my opinion fall into three categories – rock rooms (apparently the most popular) glam, and 1960s kitsch. The property has a Swiss Alps look on the exterior with two restaurants, a spa, tennis courts, a garden and beach entry pool on site.
