Our first venture into the hospitality industry began in 2009 at a cozy bistro set within a beautiful brick building in downtown San Luis Obispo, which was once the historic home of the original Hotel Granada (circa 1922).

In 2010, the property was slated for demolition, but the owner of the beloved bistro, Kimberly Walker, had other plans. She and three longtime friends (who called themselves the Lunacy Club) decided to join together, purchase the building, and restore it to its former glory as a full-service hotel.

The restoration preserved the timeless character of the property and modernized the offering through thoughtful design and attention to detail. A true labor of love, our team hand-picked every piece of furniture, art, fabric, record, and book in the building. And so, in 2012, Granada Hotel & Bistro as you know it today was re-born.

The magic that happened at Granada became the blueprint for Nomada's next six projects — a “best of both worlds” philosophy that honors the past for and carries it into the present for the next generation to discover.
