A visit to Merced’s El Capitan Hotel is one of the most luxurious road-trip pitstops anyone can make. This stylish historical downtown hotel is en route to nearby destinations such as Yosemite National Park, Monterey Bay, and the Santa Cruz Mountains. With 114 rooms featuring spacious layouts, chic furnishings, modern amenities, and a choice landscape location, guest may also choose a thoughtfully designed luxury suite with California nature views and 560 square feet of space. The hotel restaurants prepare artisanal fare and spirits that pay homage to the ranchers, farmers, cheesemakers, bakers, brewers, and winemakers that have refashioned Merced into one of California’s best-kept foodie secrets. Choose from three distinct dining experiences: Mainzer offers comfort food, craft cocktails, a regional beer wall, and entertainment unbounded; Rainbird’s destination-worthy dining is inspired by the joy of breaking bread together; and Native Son is a casual eatery that features a café-style menu. Work out in El Capitan’s 24-hour access fitness center, which is fully outfitted with gear, Peloton bikes, and the Fitness on Demand app. Even your pets are welcome. Explore the great outdoors with your furry companion and then retreat to the comforts of El Capitan. It’s the perfect wanderlust home base.
