In the heart of California’s wine country, Paso Robles Inn effortlessly blends historic charm with modern romance. Founded in 1891 as a Victorian spa renowned for its healing hot springs, the Inn welcomed a colorful mix of guests. After a fire in 1940, it was rebuilt by 1942 to serve the motoring travelers of the era, becoming a beloved stop on California road trips. Over the decades, as Paso Robles blossomed into a vibrant wine region and community, the Inn remained a cherished landmark, undergoing a thoughtful restoration in 1999 to recapture its turn-of-the-century grandeur.
Today, Paso Robles Inn offers a relaxed yet graciously upscale retreat that honors its layered past while embracing the present. Architectural details blend Victorian, Mission, and ranch-inspired styles, while the property celebrates local ingredients, artists, and makers. With koi-filled ponds, vine-covered trellises, and warm hospitality, the Inn creates a timeless setting for unforgettable weddings. As a living landmark at the heart of Paso Robles, it invites couples and guests to savor the authentic spirit, cuisine, and culture of California’s next great wine destination.
Iconic Wedding Venues
Paso Robles Inn offers a range of wedding locations, each with its own distinct personality. Whether you’re envisioning an intimate courtyard dinner, a lush garden ceremony, or a ballroom reception steeped in history, this property delivers options that suit nearly every wedding style.
The Secret Gardens at Paso Robles Inn is truly a showstopper - an expansive green haven nestled beneath a canopy of centuries-old oak trees. With koi ponds, manicured lawns, and twinkle lights that make it glow after sunset, it’s ideal for up to 220 guests for a ceremony and 250 for a reception.
The Grand Ballroom dates back to the original El Paso de Robles Hotel, which opened in 1891. It blends history and elegance with high beamed ceilings, original oak floors, and enough space to host up to 250 guests. It’s one of those rare reception venues that feels both regal and grounded in local character.
The Matador Room offers a more intimate yet striking option, featuring rich Spanish-inspired decor, elegant chandeliers, and warm tones. This versatile space accommodates up to 100 guests, perfect for smaller receptions, rehearsal dinners, or private celebrations with a touch of Old World flair.
For smaller gatherings, The Steakhouse Patio - fringed by garden views and shaded for comfort - offers a charming space for up to 80 guests, perfect for relaxed receptions or rehearsal dinners.
Just Around the Corner: The Piccolo
Steps away from the Inn is The Piccolo, its boutique sister property. Sleek, modern, and filled with artful details, The Piccolo offers its own collection of distinctive wedding spaces, each ideal for couples looking to complement their garden ceremony or create a wedding weekend with variety and flow.
The Courtyard, tucked between the hotel and the Paso Robles Inn’s historic brick exterior, is a private, mural-adorned setting that feels intimate and central. With its vibrant “Native Bouquet” mural - depicting local wine country flora - it’s a stunning backdrop for ceremonies up to 100 guests or receptions of up to 70 guests.
Tetto Rooftop Bar, the only rooftop venue in downtown Paso Robles, is another standout. This 1,500-square-foot open-air space features lounge seating, fire pits, a full bar, and sweeping views of the town square and surrounding vineyards. Accommodating up to 80 guests, it's the perfect setting for elopements, cocktail hours, or stylish micro weddings under the stars.
