"Housed in a historic stagecoach stop and now an Auberge Collection resort, the Inn at Mattei’s Tavern has hosted Hollywood stars like Ronald Reagan and Clark Gable and sits amid Los Olivos’ tasting rooms, restaurants, and boutiques." - Justin Goldman

"I saw Mattei’s Tavern as a five-star Auberge transformation of a Santa Ynez Valley historical landmark that dates back to the 1880s, now offering indoor-outdoor rooms and cottages with private terraces, a sun-drenched spa, and locally harvested California cuisine. The property nods cheekily to its Old West past with saloon nights, live music, card games, and outdoor firepits for marshmallow roasting." - CNT Editors
"A historic, century-old lodging in the Santa Ynez Valley that has been renovated into a collection of cottages, suites, and studios blending the property's 100-plus-year heritage with modern comforts; it has earned high accolades in travel awards and is positioned as a top hotel in California." - Cu Fleshman Cu Fleshman Cu is a freelance writer and editor with more than five years of experience.
