The Darling Hotel brings the casual elegance of the 1930's, with award-winning restoration of Art Deco design elements, to the Gateway to the Sequoias. Elevate your visit to the National Parks or as you travel through California, with this lovely, comfortable and unique Trip Advisor favorite (2024 Traveler's Choice Winner & 2021 Hottest New Hotels--one of only 4 properties in the US on this "Best of the Best" Global list). The rooftop restaurant "Elderwood" offers warm “fire pits” and beautiful views to accompany comfortable yet sophisticated cuisine, while indoors at the bar your craft cocktail adventure begins with a frequently refreshed menu of original libations. This property, built in 1935, is so wonderful that it is even frequented by locals, in Visalia, California, where we lived for decades. As full-time world travelers now, it's still one of our favorite "home" experiences. So as they say, "Welcome home, Darling!"
