The Carlton Hotel is a luxury hotel located in Atascadero, California, along the state's Central Coast in San Luis Obispo County. Construction began in 1928, with the hotel officially opening its doors in 1929. After several decades of local popularity and notoriety, by the early 1980s the property had fallen into deep disrepair.

During this time, the dilapidation had degenerated into such extent that several local bands would play in the dark and abandoned lobby, and the gold-plated hands of the tower clock were stolen - sometime in the late 1970s.

In 1999, a joint-venture, formed between David Weyrich, David Crabtree and Steve Landaker, purchased the hotel and embarked on a massive renovation project. They successfully reopened the facility in 2004. The hotel now boasts an artisanal Bakery & Cafe and a restaurant Nectar & Noble.

In 2023, The Carlton was acquired by new owners who envisioned a future woven with the rich tapestry of the past. Embracing the Arcadian Guild theme, a celebration of nature's bounty and idyllic experiences, they embarked on a transformative journey.

The Carlton is undergoing exquisite renovations to embrace the Arcadian Guild theme. Guest rooms and common areas will be infused with a spirit that reflects harmony with nature. New culinary experiences await, with the addition of a bar and restaurant, a distillery crafting small-batch spirits, and a speakeasy event space – all designed to tantalize the palate and foster a sense of community.

As the hotel steps into the future, The Carlton embraces the Arcadian Guild theme, reflecting a deep connection to the natural world and a pursuit of idyllic experiences. Just as the Arcadian ideal celebrates community and harmony, The Carlton fosters a sense of belonging for all who walk through its doors. The Carlton offers a timeless haven woven with rich history and a commitment to creating cherished memories.
