SLO County News BlogGolf, Wine, Real Estate, Business & Travel NewsAvila Village Inn OpensTuesday, January 18, 2005 The Avila Village Inn in the Avila Village commercial and retail center off San Luis Bay Drive welcomed its first guests last week. The inn opened its doors for a month-long soft opening to be followed by a grand-opening celebration on Valentine's Day.
The $5 million inn is owned by Ventura-based builder R.W. Hertel & Sons and will be managed by the Pacifica Hotel Company. Michele Berry is the general manager. She previously managed the Morgan's Mansions Hotel in San Luis Obispo. The craftsman-style inn has 30 rooms with suites featuring mission-style furniture, spa tubs, fireplaces, wet bars with granite countertops and secluded balconies. Other amenities include DVD players, wide-screen televisions and a complimentary breakfast. The inn also features a fitness facility for guests and a conference room for executive meetings and retreats. Rooms run about $175 a night. Local residents will receive a 15 percent discount on room rates. The bar/lounge is open to guests, but the Avila Beach Deli -- a high-end delicatessen and market -- will open in February and offer limited room service. An outdoor pool and spa will also be added in the near future. The inn is located at 6655 Bay Laurel Drive in Avila Beach. For details, call 627-1810 or visit www.avilavillageinn.com.
