The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa

It started as a small adobe boarding house in the late 1800s and grew into a massive, castle-like hotel over several decades. Today it’s a luxury hotel, historic landmark, and major tourist attraction in Riverside.

The Mission Inn became a major stop for presidents, celebrities, and world travelers. Over the years, it has hosted multiple U.S. presidents and notable figures, helping cement its reputation as a landmark hotel. Learn more HERE.
