The Kinney SLO Grand Opening | San Luis Obispo Event Planner

If you haven’t been over to SLO’s newest hotel, be sure to do so! The Kinney SLO’s property features a trendy outdoor courtyard area (complete with a Scrabble & Lite Brite wall) and a delicious restaurant, Leroy’s, with an indoor arcade. Their decor is detailed and intentional, while also feeling funky and random!

Designing, Planning, and Coordinating this hotel grand opening was a different experience for our team! It had been awhile since AHE tackled a corporate event, but we worked our magic and the event went perfectly! We worked closely with The Kinney’s design and marketing teams, combining our visions to execute an event that incorporated larger elements of their company brand and key pieces within this specific hotel space.

Our favorite aspect of this event was its emphasis on bringing in local artisan vendors to showcase their crafts and their passions. We featured a macrame artist, two jewelry vendors, a canvas artist, three wineries, and a leather goods vendor. It gave us a chance to further explore all the amazing things people are doing within our community! We happily recommend booking The Kinney SLO to our future clients and their guests.
