The Jewel of Placerville.

After the great fires of the Gold Rush era, the Cary House was rebuilt in 1857 with sturdy brick and iron to stand the test of time. It wasn’t just a hotel; it was a symbol of luxury and resilience, earning it a sparkly nickname that we still strive to live up to today.

Legend has it, one of our 19th-century team members Stan never officially clocked out. Do you know the legend of Stan? Guests often report the scent of cigar smoke or a friendly 'hello' near the lobby.

You can even see his uniform still standing tall at the bottom of the staircase.

A true dedicated professional!

Remembering and honoring the brave.

Today, we pause to honor the extraordinary men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage, dedication, and selflessness are the foundation of the freedoms we get to live and enjoy every day.

As you spend the day gathering with family, sharing a meal, or simply enjoying a quiet moment of reflection, we wish you and your loved ones a peaceful, safe, and meaningful Memorial Day.

With our deepest gratitude,
The Team at the Historic Cary House Hotel
