"The revamped 50-room property offers a blend of historic and modern with a cozy wood-paneled lobby, elegant pool, central garden and two dining venues. Located in the center of town, it joins the iconic Ojai Valley Inn. Founded in 1923, this is the area's most well-known lodging, a luxury resort set across 220-acres of landscaped lawns, with a world-class golf course, award-winning spa, and four dining concepts."
"The breezy Ojai Rotie is an outdoor fast-casual restaurant specializing in rotisserie chicken, sourdough bread made on-site, and veggie-forward sides like caramelized cauliflower. The Duchess is another local favorite, a cafe and restaurant that offers California Burmese cuisine, including chickpea curry and lentil-rice bowls, plus a not-to-be-missed crispy battered chicken sandwich. Rory's Place, meanwhile, is known for its seafood and innovative cocktails, like the Salt & Pep Martini and suggestively named mezcal-laced Hello Satan."
Ojai sits amid rolling, sun-dappled hills and is cooled by a Pacific breeze, earning a reputation as a peaceful Shangri-La. The town has seen increased interest from film industry figures, prompting new hospitality and retail openings. Hotel El Roblar offers a restored 50-room property combining historic and modern elements, while the longstanding Ojai Valley Inn provides expansive luxury amenities. Alternative lodging includes caravan-style Airstream stays for a no-frills adventure. A growing culinary scene features all-day cafes, rotisserie-focused fast-casual spots, California Burmese cuisine, seafood-focused restaurants, and inventive cocktail programs.
