  • The Hotel Fresno sure looks creepy and thrashed these days but it was once the finest hotel in Fresno and a destination for the rich and famous.
    Closed since 1983, it was opened to great fanfare in 1913 and is the oldest surviving building in downtown Fresno.
    This is only a short walk around as the building is pretty secure but its history and possible future are interesting.
    So, come along and check it out. As always, if you have any ideas for things you would like to see, please leave them in the comments!
    Thanx!

    My father was a bell hop in both the Hotel Fresno and the Californian. My father passed back in 2004. He told me about working at both.

    In the 1960s, Hotel Fresno became a Senior Home. In the 1980s, It was Losing Money and had to close down. It evicted everyone that lived there.

    Weird how much that hotel looks like the Ryde Hotel in the delta from the back minus the fringe architecture

      I don't believe in that stuff but I don't know that I've heard it was. I'm not from the area and am not familiar with any legends that may be attached to it.
      I still hope to talk my way inside it sometime!

    It's an eyesore too old run down broken down old building...needs to be torn down and make way for new high rise modern tower with 25 stories high with residential and hotel/ commercial mixed use...fresno NEEDS a new tallest tower ALREADY.
