What a trip!

The Madonna Inn is a retro-assorted themed hotel that provides guests a unique stay no matter what room is given. The Madonna Inn is located in San Luis Obispo, California. Madonnas first twelve rooms were ready to go Christmas eve, 1959 and happened to be given it's first nights stay,complimentary, to a group of travelers. In 1960 twenty-eight more rooms were built, totaling to 40 rooms. These days 110 rooms are available with such insane creative touches. Many rooms are named after certain cities, or states, even sole descriptions of the feeling the room is evoking. Wallpaper plays a large roll along with fabric and vibrant carpet colors, bed frames, lamps, artwork, and abstract furniture you have probably never seen before- it will blow your mind. Amazing is all i can say. I will go here one day and bask in the time warping walls this Inn has miraculously captured.

Here's a little taste of what you'll find.

Just a little taste...
A personal fav. below, how mod how lovely.

1968 Bill Blass- Ivory lace over nude lining wedding dress.

1915- Wedding dress, which is incredibly modernized thanks to flower details which appear to be sewn on & that lattice-like work is so sexy.

1950- Jacques Fath, Ivory silk. Ugh, love.





1960- Sarmi beige and silver party dress!
