The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa - Southern California - A National Historic Landmark

Rooms & Suites: 238

Embark on a European vacation in Southern California at The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa, an icon of breathtaking architecture, timeless beauty and old world charm.

Occupying an entire city block and encompassing 320,000 square feet today, the Inn began as a two-story adobe guesthouse in 1876. In 1903, Frank Miller began to expand the original facilities, a process that took more than 30 years to complete. The finished project incorporates design elements from throughout the southwestern United States and several Mediterranean countries, with a particular influence from the California missions, and the work of several California architects including Arthur Benton, Myron Hunt and G. Stanley Wilson. The Inn represents a blending of architectural elements, flying buttresses, domes, a bell tower, clock towers, interior courtyards and patios, a five-story open-air rotunda and a circular wrought-iron staircase. The AAA Four Diamond, Historic Mission Inn Hotel & Spa is a National Historic Landmark and a member of Historic Hotels of America. Filled with priceless antiques and artifacts, the Inn offers tours of the property through the Mission Inn Foundation that operates the on-property museum. Over the years, The AAA Four Diamond, Historic Mission Inn Hotel & Spa has hosted numerous dignitaries including 10 United States Presidents and Vice Presidents as well as being the site of Richard and Pat Nixon's wedding and Nancy and Ronald Reagan's honeymoon.
