We passed through Solvang once some years ago and I never really appreciated the place. We had a one night stopover at The Landsby on the way to Monterey car week and took advantage of a 'special' room rate. The hotel is lovely, fresh and contemporary, yet warm and cozy with lovely decor and furnishings, comfortable beds, good amenities and ample space for everything. The bathrooms are beautifully presented with very nice products and toiletries. The hotel has it's own car park, at a cost, but for one night and the convenience it was fine. The hotel has delightful courtyards but best of all there's the restaurant Mad & Vin. We had a truly exceptional dinner and we can't wait to go back. Our server helped us choose excellent wines and make the perfect selections for dinner - one of the best meals we've had in a very long time and we will certainly be going back. Our visit to The Landsby did not disappoint.
