The Darling Hotel
Visalia’s Centerpiece
Inspired by the past, reimagined for you. Welcome to The Darling Hotel, located in the heart of California's Central Valley. Formerly the Tulare County Courthouse Annex, The Darling brings new life to an iconic landmark in the town of Visalia.
What Sets Us Apart Historic Setting
Originally built in 1935 as the Tulare County Courthouse Annex, the property was completely reimagined in 2020 as a boutique hotel. Combining the timeless elegance of its original Art Deco design with the modern conveniences you crave, The Darling is Visalia's go-to hotel destination.
What Sets Us Apart Central Location
Located about an hour from Fresno in downtown Visalia, The Darling Hotel places you in easy driving distance to some of California's most famous parks. Make The Darling your home base and experience the world-famous Sequoia trees at Sequoia National Park or Kings Canyon National Park.
What Sets Us Apart Rooftop Dining
Savor seasonal, locally grown ingredients blended to celebrate Central California at Elderwood, Visalia’s only rooftop restaurant and lounge. Plus, enjoy an expansive cocktail menu featuring one-of-a-kind creations by our in-house mixologists.
What Sets Us Apart Poolside Oasis
Relax and unwind in The Darling's very own poolside oasis, open year-round. The pool is heated, making our poolside terrace the ideal setting for both summer gatherings and steamy winter dips.
What Sets Us Apart Authentic Hospitality
