Restored Craftsman residence
The twelve-room inn runs like a residential club, gathering guests in a fireside parlor bar and an olive-shaded patio.
What it’s good at
Notable
Custom citrus wallpaper and exposed timber beams blend Craftsman woodwork with California ease.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The interiors are California cool with a vintage twist — bespoke wallpaper flecked with citrus fruit patterns, exposed beams, dark wood paneling, craftsman furniture.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
In Old Towne Orange, two blocks from the antique shops and cafes circling Plaza Park.
The rooms
Rooms in the main house have deep sage and turquoise walls, while the Attic Suite sits under high vaulted ceilings.
The Living Room Bar & Lounge
Patterned barstools pull up to the marble counter, where bartenders shake bourbon cocktails beside warm wood paneling.
How it began
Catering firm 24 Carrots converted the 1906 residence and an adjacent mortuary chapel into their debut hotel.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
