The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa in downtown Riverside is a National Historic Landmark that feels like a European village dropped into the Inland Empire. Its Spanish Mission Revival architecture, courtyards, chapels, and artifact-filled halls make simply walking the grounds an experience.

Year-round you can dine at its restaurants, enjoy Kelly’s Spa, or take a guided tour. During the holiday season the famous Festival of Lights transforms the property and surrounding downtown blocks with millions of lights, live entertainment, an ice rink, and family activities.

Even on a regular day, the Mission Inn offers one of the most photogenic and culturally rich stops in the IE.
