Castañeda Hotel, Railroad hotel in Las Vegas, United States
Description
Castañeda Hotel is a railroad station accommodation in Las Vegas with twenty-two Victorian-style rooms and a 500-foot arcade running along the eastern facade. The building displays classic rail-era architecture with preserved details from its original period.
History
Fred Harvey built this accommodation in 1898 as his first trackside operation and transformed hospitality standards across America. The project laid the foundation for a network of standardized stations along railroad routes.
Culture
The hotel reflects early travel culture when train journeys were special occasions and passengers expected refined hospitality at stations. The spaces speak to a time when comfort along rail routes was rare and therefore highly valued.
Practical
The hotel offers on-site restaurant service with American and Southwest dishes available for guests. Visitors should note it is a restored building, so some paths and rooms retain historical proportions.
Did you know?
The building remained vacant for decades until an extensive restoration brought it back to life in 2019 with careful attention to original details. This revival makes it a rare example of recovering historic rail infrastructure.
