Skyview Los Alamos is a charming boutique hotel that blends retro charm with a modern, cool vibe. Situated in the heart of wine country, this transformed old hotel offers a stunning panoramic view of the surrounding landscape and farms with horses. The quaint pool scene, complete with a walk-up bar, is a relaxing spot to unwind, while the inside bar and restaurant boast some of the best mixologists around. The rooms are boutique perfection, with well-stocked bars, private porches, and clean, well-appointed bathrooms. The beds are incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Guests can enjoy the cozy outdoor seating areas and a firepit for perfect evening gatherings. The food and drinks at Skyview Los Alamos are praised, with the yellowtail fin crisp, bread pudding ala mode, and the burgers being standouts. The hotel's layout is thoughtfully designed, with dual cross-room locations that feature ample privacy. While the hotel is considered a bit dog-friendly, with dogs allowed in the pool, it is overall a fantastic place to stay, offering a unique and memorable boutique hotel experience in the heart of Los Alamos. The $500 per night price tag is justified by the hotel's amenities, ambiance, and stunning views.
Great one-night stay. Nice room with patio, and the bed was well-made with great cotton sheets and two types of pillow comfort. The grounds are beautiful. Only bummer was the pool was closed for rehab and will be thru March. Attentive staff, super quick check-in.

Why we love it: A roadside motel reborn as a stylish wine-country hideawayThe Highlights:- Fun revived-retro style- Wine country views for days- Flavor-packed seasonal menusThe Review:Mid-century roots meet rustic chic at this boutique property set on five acres overlooking the winelands of North Santa Barbara County. Originally built in the 1950s as a motel-it's conveniently located just off the 101 freeway-the Skyview emerged from a multi-million-dollar renovation with a style that pays homage to its history, but also includes all the needed modern conveniences. Ranging from Cozy and Classic to Deluxe and Junior Suite options, the 33 rooms offer comfort in the form of mid-century-inspired furnishings, warm hardwood flooring and accents, high-speed Wi-Fi, leather club chairs, down duvets, and locally made bath products. Higher categories feature etxras like fireplaces, private patios, outdoor showers, or firepits. The restored 1950s-era pool is now heated, ringed with striped loungers, and served by attendants (a menu of snacks and drinks is available), while the stylish lobby is the place for complimentary breakfast backed by wine-country views. The lively Norman restaurant culls produce-and wine-from the surrounding region for its fresh, flavorful menus; brunch on the terrace is particularly popular. Unlike in the past, when the motel's guests were probably just looking for a clean roadside stop, Skylark is now a destination of its own-a hub for exploring wineries, borrowing a bike to visit the galleries and restaurants of historic Los Alamos, or just sipping a drink around the outdoor firepits.
