The Padre Hotel is a historical landmark hotel located on the corner of 18th and H streets in Bakersfield, California. Originally constructed in 1928 as a luxury hotel and restaurant, the eight-story building recently went through an extensive renovation and reopened in 2010.[3] The Padre Hotel features 112 rooms and suites, several meeting spaces, a restaurant, a bar, a cafe, a bistro, and an outdoor bar with a cabana and firepits. The Padre Hotel has an on-site caterer and can accommodate a variety of special events. Guests of the hotel are required to be at least 21 years of age, unless accompanied by an adult.[4]
Bakersfield’s best hotel, Padre Hotel, first opened its doors in 1928 and today is Bakersfield’s only 4-Diamond Hotel. After being closed for several years, the historic hotel underwent a transformation to become a sophisticated boutique hotel with restaurants, nightlife, wedding venues and conference facilities. Padre Hotel is your best bet if you're looking for a boutique hotel in Bakersfield. In fact, it's your only bet! The rooms are spacious and very well done. The weak part Is the bathrooms. They don't look as rich as the room. And the lighting is ridiculous. You literally can't see what you're doing in the mirror.
History[edit]
My recent stay at the Padre Hotel in Bakersfield was really great. The hotel is clean, the personnel professional and the accommodations first class. Phoneclean pro 5 0 0. However, the neighborhood is iffy, so stay inside. Jun 11, 2020 Verified Hotels.com guest review. Mary Ellen, us 1 night business trip. Restaurant menu, map for The Padre Hotel located in 93301, Bakersfield CA, 1702 18th Street.
Originally built in 1928, the eight-story Spanish Colonial Revival hotel had an auspicious and flamboyant beginning in the Central Valley’s early and notorious Oil Rush days, but none quite so colorful as that of Milton “Spartacus” Miller, who purchased The Padre in 1954. For the next 45 years, he did spirited battle with Bakersfield’s city fathers over a myriad of issues, even mounting a fake missile on the roof, defiantly directed at City Hall with no small disdain. Miller died in 1999.
A fire on the seventh floor in the 1950s resulted in many deaths, including children. Several children were tragically trapped and died in the basement during the 1952 earthquake. There have also been many suicides from the roof of the Padre Hotel.
The Padre Hotel fell into disrepair and was a derelict hotel from the 1960s until its most recent renovation in 2010. Prior to that renovation, the upper floors were condemned but often had squatters occupying the rooms. The bar downstairs stayed open during this time and was a meeting place for the city's misfits and barflies.
