Desolation Hotel Hope Valley

Desolation Hotel Hope Valley

10/10 Excellent
"This is one of my favorite places to go! The grounds are so beautiful any season. The staff is so professional, extremely friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, we learned that the company sold to another company and only gave the staff 2 weeks notice that they would no longer be able to stay open. The restaurant was closed which was dissapointing as the food was so fabulous. I hope they reopen with the same feel as Desolation Hotel."
