Inside the newest hotel in Ojai, which is also the oldest

Hotel El Roblar offers 50 rooms and two restaurants after six years of restoration, aiming to attract visitors amid Ojai's limited lodging supply, with future spa plans underway.

  • Hotel El Roblar, a historic landmark on Ojai's main street since 1919, reopened this summer after extensive restoration under new ownership.
  • The reopening followed six years of design, permit negotiations, and construction focused on preserving the hotel's Old California character and local heritage.
  • Owners Jeremy McBride and Eric Goode transformed the hotel, reopening it after 50 years with 50 rooms, two dining options including the Condor Bar, and implementing a valet parking requirement.
  • Nightly rates begin at $455, valet parking is available for $50 per night, and the owners intend to launch a spa and wellness center spanning 9,000 square feet within the next 18 to 24 months, subject to city approval.
  • This revival reflects Ojai’s effort to preserve small-town identity amid tourism pressures and limited lodging, supported by residents’ protective attitude and local policies.
