Somewhat hidden but right in the charming center of Solvang is a hip boutique hotel just steps from Solvang Park, and an easy walk to the Solvang Theaterfest, the Elverhøj Museum, California Nature Art Museum (formerly the Wildling Museum), and a whole slew of tasting rooms, shops, and restaurants.
The 14-room Winston Solvang hotel looks like pretty standard Danish-style Solvang architecture from the outside, but once we stepped inside our king-sized suite, I was quite impressed by both the spaciousness and the stylishness of our room. Each room has individual art and decor to appeal to design lovers. For this particular room, the fashion-forward red walls and unique butterfly paintings in the sitting room greeted us, along with a bottle of local wine at the ready. There was also a nicely stocked honor bar available.
