Fully equipped restaurant space located in the premier hotel of Atascadero. The Carlton Hotel is located on the main traffic corridor of Atascadero at the corner of El Camino Real and Traffic Way. The 52-room boutique hotel has just been purchased by Trilogy Hospitality and will undergo a multi-million-dollar renovation to the rooms and décor. The Carlton Hotel is a three-story luxury hotel with an expansive lobby area, Tuscany style courtyard on the second floor, ground floor restaurant space, 2500 SF of meeting/ballrooms, fitness room and business center. The property also includes adjacent retail space occupied by the Back Porch Bakery. The available restaurant space is approximately 7500 SF with expansive windows along two sides with high ceilings, beautiful solid wood finishes and open seating area. There is restaurant access directly from the street or through the hotel lobby. The seating is approximately 104 seats for the dining areas, 37 seats in the bar and lounge area and 40 plus in the adjacent private dining room. There are three exhibition kitchen areas open to the dining room including a main grill line, independent sushi/oyster bar area and a wood fired oven area. There is an extensive back of the house kitchen area with a back line, prep area, large walk-in refrigerators and freezers, dishwashing area, dry storage, employee restrooms and locker area, loading dock, trash area and back of the house access to the service elevator for the hotel. All the equipment can be included for a future tenant’s use. This is a tremendous opportunity to lease a space that is basically ready to open and serve. The new owners are looking for experienced restaurant operators that can take advantage of the extensive restaurant improvements to incorporate them into their concept for a successful new destination restaurant in Atascadero.
