Landsby

Top choice in Santa Ynez Valley


Forget Solvang's cheesy Danish side, the Landsby is all about slick contemporary Scandinavian style. The principal decorative themes in this new arrival on the town's sleeping scene are white and wood, but cool design doesn't mean there's not a warm atmosphere. Start your day with the complimentary breakfast and finish it with a drink at the popular lobby bar.

The in-house Mad & Vin restaurant (meaning 'food and wine' in Danish) has similarly chic surroundings and a good menu of classic American dishes (mains $16 to $34).
