Skyview Los Alamos

If, for some unfathomable reason, good wine, incredible food, and unadulterated country living isn’t enough to convince you to spend a weekend in Los Alamos, then make the trip simply to stay at Skyview. This iconic roadside motel has been open since 1959, but after a complete renovation in 2018, it was turned into one of the most impressive boutique motels in California. Sitting up on a hill overlooking Los Alamos and the surrounding wine country, Skyview has a fantastic pool area, free beach cruisers to ride around town with, and back-facing rooms with private fire pits and outdoor showers. It’s romantic, retro, and the perfect place to remind yourself why we all pay so much money to live in this state.
