Summary

A four-story, 135-room SpringHill Suites hotel is being built at 950 El Camino Real in Grover Beach, on a lot of about 4.87 acres along El Camino Real. The City's development tracker describes the project as a four-story hotel with 135 rooms and records a building permit issued on April 1, 2019.

The site has a long approval history under a different brand. On February 26, 2007 the Planning Commission approved Development Permit Application 06-034 for a 134-room Hilton Garden Inn with a restaurant, swimming pool and 141-space parking lot, with a Mitigated Negative Declaration. A revised coastal development permit followed on May 8, 2007, the City Council denied an appeal on July 2, 2007, and the California Coastal Commission filed its own appeal on July 19, 2007. In October 2012 the Planning Commission considered a one-year time extension of the approval for the then owner, City National Bank. The City's tracker records design approval on the 2007 date.

The City's 2025 General Plan Annual Progress Report, published in March 2026, lists the hotel as entitled, with building permits issued and under construction. The tracker, updated October 14, 2026, keeps it first in the group of approved projects that are under construction or hold a permit, a list the City says is ordered by expected completion. No opening date is published in the records reviewed.

  • The building permit dates from April 2019 and the annual report's under-construction status from March 2026; the records give no construction start date, progress report or opening date.
  • The outcome of the Coastal Commission's 2007 appeal and of the 2012 time extension request is not documented in the portion of the records reviewed.
  • The records reviewed do not name the current developer or hotel owner.
