National Exchange Hotel, Hotel in den Vereinigten Staaten
The National Exchange Hotel is a three-story building on Broad Street in Nevada City that stretches approximately 100 feet and displays Victorian design with decorative trim and classic windows throughout. Built in 1856, it has remained in continuous operation as a hotel and features restored original wooden details, fixtures, and furnishings that reflect its historic period.
The hotel was built in 1856 during the height of gold mining activity in the region and was among the earliest sophisticated structures in the mining camp. A three-year restoration project in recent times carefully preserved original elements while adding modern comforts without compromising its historic character.
The hotel's name reflects its role as a center of commerce during the gold rush, when it served as a gathering place for miners and travelers. Visitors today can sense this history of exchange and connection in the building's layout and social spaces.
The hotel is located on Broad Street in the heart of Nevada City, making it easy to explore nearby historic shops, art galleries, and cafes on foot. Visitors should be aware that the building has multiple stairways and narrow corridors typical of 19th-century architecture.
The building houses a restaurant called Lola that serves creative dishes in the historic setting, offering an unexpected blend of contemporary cuisine and period surroundings. The historic bar room, part of the hotel for years, preserves the original feel of Nevada City's days and serves as an authentic gathering place where guests and locals interact.
