The Madonna Inn, located on California's Central Coast, is renowned for its vibrant pink decor and unique themed guest rooms. Opened in 1958 by Alex and Phyllis Madonna, the inn expanded over the years to include various amenities like a steakhouse and bakery that serve iconic dishes and drinks. Known for its locally sourced ingredients and house-made items, the inn provides a quirky and colorful experience, attracting guests from around the world. Signature dishes like pink Champagne cake and cocktails reflect this whimsical theme, reinforcing the inn's reputation as a distinctive travel destination.
"Our inn may not suit everyone's taste, but from the number of pleased guests we've had from practically every country in the world ... we feel that we have contributed to the joy of traveling," the late Alex Madonna once wrote.
At the Madonna Inn nearly everything is made on-site, and what isn't is often sourced from nearby specialists. San Luis Obispo's long-running Cattaneo Bros. makes the linguica sausage thatâs served as an appetizer at Alex Madonna's Gold Rush Steak House.
