PALOMAR INN HOTEL

The Palomar Inn Hotel has a notable history that contributes to its unique character and presence in the city’s Old Town. The hotel, originally known as Hotel McCulloch, was built in the early 1920s when Temecula was only a small rural community. The hotel was first owned by Lena McCulloch and accommodated farmers, ranchers, and workers who played integral roles in the development and success of the town’s growth.

The Palomar Inn was the first “modern”’ hotel in Temecula based on the fact that it had electricity and indoor plumbing. The hotel has since undergone restorations to preserve and enhance its longstanding history, and was most recently renovated in 2022 . Rooms have been decorated to commemorate those who owned or had stayed at the hotel. While maintaining its character, the building bodes a nostalgic ambiance and timeless presence.

The hotel is currently only available to rent in its entirety. With access to 6 guest rooms, a kitchenette and dining space, the property boasts of a spacious private yard, frequently used to host celebrations and events. The Palomar Inn Hotel invites guests into a time machine of Old Town’s past while sharing an intimate one-of-a-kind stay.
