THE PULSE The Next Napa? Have clients who want to try out California’s next wine region? Have them stay at Hotel Cheval (www.hotelcheval.com) in Paso Robles, which is close to more than 170 wineries. What else is near? A slew of farmer’s markets, golf, the historic Missions San Miguel and San Antonio de Padua and Hearst Castle, which is just 45 minutes away. The hotel, which opened last year, is in downtown Paso Robles, which puts it close to local restaurants and shopping. Things to know: The top accommodations at the hotel are the Luxury Rooms, which are larger than the Classic and Deluxe Rooms and all have fireplaces. Another plus: Luxury Rooms are on the second floor and have higher ceilings, California King Beds and windows with wooden shutters. Downstairs, the hotel’s wine bar, The Pony Club, throws a Meet the Winemakers event every Thursday, when Paso Robles winemakers discuss their wines. On weekends the hotel’s Belgian draft horse, Chester, escorts Hotel Cheval guests to dinner around the town square in a carriage. Contact Managing Director Judy Hudson (judy@ hotelcheval.com) to book one of the hotel’s 16 rooms.
