Hotel El Roblar

About Hotel El Roblar

After originally opening in 1919, Ojai’s longest-standing hotel, El Roblar, has been restored to its former glory and reopened as a 50-room boutique bolthole. The sensitive restoration has thankfully retained the property’s Spanish Revival architecture, including the Mission-style entry archway and the lobby’s stone fireplace, and added in design elements that pay homage to the Ojai Valley such as Monterey-style furnishings and locally sourced artworks. Guest rooms are divided across the Main Building, the private bungalows—which come with large garden patios—and the newly built Sycamore House, and nod to the unspoiled surroundings with warm, earthy shades and layers of natural wood. Restaurant La Cocina and the Condor Bar tap into Ojai’s long-standing links with Mexico and serve a California-Mexican menu complemented by local wines, cocktails, and a strong collection of agave spirits. Outside, gardens filled with palm and dragon trees and Spanish-style fountains surround the pool, which sits against a backdrop of the Los Padres Forest and Topa Topa mountains.
