dining in a wholly California-accessible style, capturing
With over a decade of high-end experience on the Monterey Peninsula,
Head Chef James Anderson recently joined Hotel Serra. “I am thrilled
to be joining the team at Hotel Serra and look forward to establishing
Brasserie SLO on the Central Coast dining scene. I am also excited
to celebrate the elemental cooking methods of our wood-fired grill and
oven as a signature of the Brasserie SLO experience”, said James.
Refining practices such as nose-to-tail butchery, root-to-fruit and wild

PROGRESS REPORT
As Garden Street moves closer to being
completed, Hotel Serra would like to thank all
of our neighbors for their continued support and
combined efforts towards truly making this the
best street in Downtown SLO. Over the past few
weeks, the team at Hotel Serra has been busy
making improvements not only to Garden Street
but to the surrounding walkways and crosswalks.
Work on the two historic buildings that will become
the hotel entrance and the restaurant, Brasserie
SLO, continues, and the recent installation of
the rooftop pool went off exceedingly smooth
and garnered a very positive response. Most
importantly, Garden Street is now fully open!
