Checking In | Hotel Corque – Solvang, CA

This post may contain affiliate links wherein I earn a small commission if you purchase or subscribe to a product from one of my links (at no extra cost to you!). Read my full Privacy Policy here.


We stayed at Hotel Corque on our very first visit to Solvang and it was such a pleasant experience! The hotel is tastefully decorated and conveniently located to everything we needed access to (though most places right in town generally are).

We loved our stay so much, I decided to dedicate a whole post to our experience! If you’re visiting Solvang, Hotel Corque is definitely an excellent choice.

Location of Hotel Corque

Hotel Corque is located on Alisal Road, just a few doors down from the Solvang Windmill and a TON of shopping and restaurants. Most things in Solvang are within walking distance to the hotel, so you don’t have to worry about driving to many places during your stay here – which also means you can wine taste at some of the local cellars in town without having to find a DD!

Checking In

Checking in was a breeze – they even had a room ready for us two hours before check in. Pro tip: it never hurts to ask if your hotel has a room ready for you early! More times than not, you’ll find success. We were just passing by the hotel on our little self-guided walking tour of Solvang and popped in to check with them, but you can also call ahead.

Just look at this place! It is tastefully updated and modern. There’s also complimentary coffee, water, and tea on the second floor for guests to have at their leisure.

Let’s Talk About the Room

Do you ever walk into a hotel room and just breathe a huge sigh of relief? That’s how we felt when first walking in. You get that feeling that you know you’re going to be comfortable during your entire stay. We stayed in one of their studio rooms with a king bed, but they also have rooms available with balconies and views of the Santa Ynez Mountains.

The Bed

The bed was SO comfortable. We got two pretty good nights of sleep here. The hallway was quiet and our room was on the second floor, so it was nice and peaceful.

The Bathrooms

The bathrooms were nice and modern, very clean, and we had TWO sinks! Whenever we travel, single sinks tend to get a little cluttered with stuff from two people, so I really appreciated having the separate space.

The shower was great, and the best part is that the shower head was high enough for Micah (that is a legit problem we have at a lot of places).

Comfortable Robes

I love having hotel robes! There are two complimentary robes for you to wear around in your hotel room (not to take home – darn!). At least it’s nice to be able to lounge around the room in comfort.

Other Stand-Out Amenities

Wine glasses in your room – what else would you expect being in wine country? We put those to good use!

Hotel Corque Solvang

Swimming pool & hot tub – We didn’t get to test these out, but they have a really beautiful pool area. If we had stayed here longer, we certainly would have taken advantage of them.

For a complete list of room amenities, visit their website here: http://www.hotelcorque.com/amenities/

Dining at Corque

Hotel Corque has an onsite restaurant called The Craft House at Corque, located in a separate building next door to the hotel (when we visited, the restaurant was called Root 246). Here, you can get good happy hour deals on cocktails, pub-style food, and glasses of house wine without having to go too far from the hotel!

You can also take advantage of the free shuttle offered by the hotel to the Chumash Casino where you can dine at The Willows steakhouse.

Solvang is such a compact little place, you can really walk to any restaurant in town. Check out Mad & Vin, Copenhagen Sausage Garden, and Brekkies while you’re there too!

Final Thoughts

Next time we are in Solvang, there is no question we would choose to stay at Hotel Corque again!

Everything I ate and drank in Iceland - Part 2! I Everything I ate and drank in Iceland - Part 2!

I ate so many different things in Iceland, I needed to break it up in three parts 😂

Iceland has such a varied food scene, from international dishes to Icelandic specialties like plokkfiskur (kind of like a fish pie/casserole), which was absolutely delicious.

And those cinnamon rolls...I am still dreaming about them!

Day 3 in Iceland! 🇮🇸 Our third day in Iceland was Day 3 in Iceland! 🇮🇸

Our third day in Iceland was a day trip to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula - aka "Iceland in Miniature." It was very windy and cold here but much less busy than the routes of the South Coast! We saw such a variety of landscapes on the peninsula, though I wish we would have had a little bit more daylight to add more stops.

Back in Reykjavik for the evening, we had dinner and then went on a successful Northern Lights chase!

It was a long day but awesome!

Year #42 In honor of my birthday today, here's a Year #42

In honor of my birthday today, here's a little something silly: my foodie version of the "Unfortunately, I do love" trend (in typical late-to-the-party fashion). In case you were wondering anything about my food habits, here's some insight!

In all seriousness, this last year was nothing short of epic. I used to be afraid of entering this decade of life, but each year continues to give and for that, I'm thankful.

Onward, ho!

Also, let me know if you share any of my quirky food habits 😉
🇮🇸 Day 2 in Iceland of a one-week Iceland itinerar 🇮🇸 Day 2 in Iceland of a one-week Iceland itinerary!

Our second day was all about exploring Iceland's capital city - Reykjavik! This is such a chill city that's worth exploring, especially for the food scene. I see a lot of people hit the ground running with their road trips right away, but I think easing into things with Reykjavik for a day was a good idea for us.

Here's everything we did on our second day in Iceland:

- Took the most incredible food tour with @reykjavikfoodwalk. My favorite things we ate were the fried lobster tacos and seafood soup at @sjavargrillid!

- We did try the notorious fermented shark (it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be) and a shot of Black Death (the original Brennivin aquavit) which wasn't bad either.

- Explored more of Reykjavik, including more mural spotting and hitting up happy hour spots and spending all our money on cocktails and beer (Iceland is pricey!).

- We visited a Big Lebowski-themed bar @lebowskibar! I love me a good themed restaurant or bar. I had my very first White Russian here and it was actually quite good.

- We had to stop by BrewDog Reykjavik which sadly closed permanently later in the week. We visit one wherever we travel to that has one for nostalgia purposes (and their beer is pretty good).

- Our night ended at the Posthus Food Hall (recommended by our food tour guide), where we had a lamb birria burrito and some bulgogi buns.

If you don't know, I am sort of a burrito addict - it's my favorite food. I will try one in any country I see one - good or bad (this one was actually really delicious!).

What do you think about spending a day in Reykjavik before venturing out to see all the nature sights?

Icelandic Lamb Hotdogs 🌭 Lamb is a big part of Ic Icelandic Lamb Hotdogs 🌭

Lamb is a big part of Iceland's food culture! You have to try at least one lamb hotdog when you visit. We had our first one at Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur in Downtown Reykjavik while on our food tour with @reykjavikfood and I think they're a great, affordable snack!

Would you travel to Iceland to eat hotdogs?

🇮🇸 Day 1 in Iceland of a one-week Iceland itinerar 🇮🇸 Day 1 in Iceland of a one-week Iceland itinerary!

Curious about what to do on the day you land in Iceland? Here's what we did!

- Arrived to KEF airport around 9:30 a.m., hit up the duty free shop for some Brennivín, and picked up our rental car
- Stopped at @kokulistbakari for pastries to hold us over for a bit (amazing btw)
- Soaked in the Blue Lagoon (since it's not too far from the airport). It's relaxing but also helps keep you awake.
- Checked into our hotel @canopyreykjavik 
- Went to happy hour at @bastard_reykjavik (the pretzel and cheese is a must!)
- Walked around the city to keep us awake and hit famous spots like the Skólavörðustígur rainbow road, Hallgrímskirkja church, and the Sun Voyager
- Had a nice dinner at @fiskfelagid 

Not a bad start!

A moment for one of the best meals we had in Icela A moment for one of the best meals we had in Iceland at @fiskfelagid in Reykjavik!

This dinner was entirely seafood based; however, they do have some meat options on the menu if you aren't into things of the sea.

The ambiance in the restaurant was dark and cozy - perfect for an intimate dinner. Service = impeccable. Presentation of all of the dishes was perfection. Sauces were rich in flavor. Everything was so well done!

I had never had arctic char before, and that's the dish that drew me in. The fish was super delicate and smoky - really unique and incredibly tasty. My favorite dish, however, turned out to be the fishcakes! In fact, it's one of the top things we ate during our week in Iceland.

Highly, highly recommend putting this on your Iceland foodie bucket list!
