Ojai’m Obsessed with This Hotel

Hotel El Roblar is ready for its day in the sun.

Welcome to Book It!, our monthly look at a buzzy new hotel or resort we're excited about.

This iconic Ojai inn just got a sexy refresh and the garden’s not the only thing going off.

After a 100-year run as Ojai’s oldest hotel, Hotel El Roblar just got a new lease on life thanks to design-world heavyweights Eric Goode, Ramin Shamshiri, Warner Ebbink and Jeremy McBride. The reimagined retreat brings a stylish edge to this mellow mountain town, blending early California charm with a wink of modern flair.

Think historic Spanish Revival bones, restored tile and plasterwork and garden paths reminiscent of a storybook. Add in a palm-fringed pool scene and you’ve got yourself a proper Ojai reset.

What to Know:

Tucked in the heart of downtown Ojai, the 50-room hotel is a design lovers dream.
