Hotel Arcadia
The Hotel Arcadia was a hotel in Santa Monica, California that stood on the oceanfront between 1886 and 1909. The hotel was located on Ocean Avenue between Colorado and Front (later Pico Boulevard).
Built during what one historian called the Great Boom, the “fashionable and luxurious” hotel attracted wealthy visitors to the climate and scenery of the area, which ultimately became “important factors in the upbuilding of Southern California.”
Named in honor of Arcadia Bandini de Stearns Baker, the five-story hotel built by Jesup W. Scott had “glass observatories” facing the beach.
