A boutique hotel inspired by the past.
Reimagined for you.

The Darling Hotel – located in the heart of Downtown Visalia – is about 45 minutes from Sequoia National Park and within easy walking distance of the Visalia Convention Center. This boutique hotel, rising anew from the abandoned former Tulare County courthouse annex, has been restored, but also reimagined and redesigned to accommodate the tastes, sensibilities, and comforts of the 21st Century patron.
 
Picture yourself enjoying a meal or cocktails while taking in a panoramic view of the Sierra Nevadas or looking down at the vibrant nightlife of downtown Visalia from our rooftop restaurant, The Elderwood.
 
The Darling Hotel shows off the sleek, stylized beauty of the 1930s Art Deco period, yet still offers the small-town warmth, courtesy, and charms of the Central Valley.

A Piece of History

The Darling Hotel has a rich local history with Visalia’s past. The building was initially an annex to the Tulare County Courthouse in 1935, but then abandoned in the latter years of the 20th century. A group of local investors began the task of rehabilitating the property to its former grandeur. Through this project, The Darling Hotel was born and a piece of local history restored.
