Historic Santa Maria Inn

The Historic Santa Maria Inn is a Central Coast landmark that has welcomed guests since 1917. Situated at 801 S Broadway in Santa Maria, California, the property blends the architecture and character of an English country inn with the facilities of a full-service hotel, set amid lush grounds in California's wine country. The inn offers more than 10,000 square feet of event space across nine distinct rooms and outdoor areas, accommodating gatherings from 10-person executive meetings to 250-guest receptions in the Gardens. Indoor spaces include the Santa Maria Room — a versatile ballroom that seats up to 180 guests — and the Kent Room, a historic room dating to 1917 featuring original stained-glass windows and a built-in dance floor. Outdoor options include the Gardens, the Cabanas framed by French doors, and the Patio Fountain courtyard. A dedicated catering and sales team supports every event with customizable menus, banquet staffing, private bar service, and complimentary parking. On-site dining at The Century Room, Olde English Tap Room, and The Barrel Room extends the experience for overnight guests and event attendees alike.
