– The Cambria Hotel, located near Las Tablas Road in Templeton, is currently under construction with an expected opening date in early 2025. The hotel will be three stories with 132 units.
“The Cambria Hotel is excited to join the community and become a meaningful part of the area,” said one of the owners Doug Filipponi, adding that “we’re committed to offering a welcoming space for both travelers and locals alike, with spaces designed to host community events and celebrate local culture. Our team is eager to support local businesses and partner with organizations to make a positive impact. We believe in giving back and creating a hotel that reflects the community’s values and spirit, making it a place that locals feel proud to recommend to their friends and family.”
An application for a construction permit was submitted to San Luis Obispo County in October 2021, which was then approved in August 2023.
“Guests at the Cambria Hotel can expect a unique blend of modern luxury and local charm. Every aspect of the hotel experience has been designed to provide comfort, convenience, and a sense of place, reflecting the beauty and character of the area. From spacious, stylish rooms to welcoming common spaces, we want guests to feel a true connection to the destination,” said Filipponi, adding that “our team is dedicated to providing personalized, memorable service, creating a retreat where guests can unwind and enjoy an elevated travel experience.”
The Cambria Hotel will include a restaurant and bar that will “showcase local flavors and ingredients, giving guests a taste of the area’s culinary offerings,” according to Filipponi. An outdoor pool, lounge areas, and a fitness center will be built. For guests staying due to work, there will be meeting rooms and specific workspaces available, along with WiFi. In the future, guests can expect to enjoy activities sponsored by the Santa Margarita Ranch, such as zip lining, escape rooms, horseback riding, and wine tasting.
“The Cambria Hotel will feature a range of premium amenities designed to make every stay exceptional…every detail has been thoughtfully curated to ensure comfort, whether guests are here for leisure or work,” Filipponi said.
