Located in the midst of the Trinity Alps, in the historic downtown district of the old gold rush town of Weaverville, California. There is not a single traffic light in the entire county. The Weaverville Hotel and Emporium has within a two block radius, a gym (guests have gym privileges), 2 coffee houses, several good restaurants, a local brewery, an ice cream shop, a 1939 movie theatre, several art galleries, the historic Chinese Joss House, and the Jake Jackson Museum and Blacksmith.
There are several interesting shops as well, including our own Emporium featuring fine chocolates, sterling silver jewelry, European and American soaps and lotions, and a great selection of women's clothing and other great gift ideas for every pocketbook. The hotel, originally built in 1861, was last rebuilt in 1880 after burning to the ground. We have painstakingly restored it to the original high ceilings and wood floors, attempting to recapture as much of the original charm as possible.
The building is on the National Register of historic places.

Services
Originally built in 1861 at the beginning of the Civil War and at the height of Gold Rush, the Weaverville Hotel was then called Condon's Saloon (with rooms in back?) Rebuilt as a hotel after a fire in 1863, it was named the Empire Hotel.
It last burned to the ground in 1880.
A fire gutted the second floor in 1910 and ownership changed again in 1914.
The upstairs was restored and the hotel resumed full services.
You can still see the burn marks on the stairs, a result of that 1910 fire.

Named after Trinity County gold mines, all the rooms have private showers, air conditioners, heaters, ceiling fans, hair dryers, and coffee makers.
A microwave and a refrigerator with a limited amount of ice are available in the store-room across from Room 2. A telephone is available for our guests in the telephone booth at the top of the stairs.
Sorry, no televisions except in Room 1, (and downstairs in the small lounge behind the parlor.)
No smoking inside the building, but there are several swings and comfortable rocking chairs along the side of the hotel where guests are welcome to smoke if they wish.

The blacksmiths have classes during the year as well as "Hammer-Ins" for experienced blacksmiths and those who enjoy observing this vanishing art.

From Redding, take State Highway 299 north and west about 45 beautiful miles across Buckhorn Summit, with gorgeous views of Whiskeytown Lake and the mountains.
The historic district is on the opposite end of town.
The Weaverville Hotel is just next to the Band Stand and Courthouse on the right hand side.
Or you can take another really pretty route from Eureka and the coast, about 2 hours, coming south and east on Highway 299.
In the winter you will want 4 wheel drive with snow tires or chains as we do get some snow, sometimes a fair amount.
