The "Hotel Benbow" (as it was originally called) opened to the public in July of 1926. Built by the Benbow family- nine talented brothers and sisters who also constructed the Benbow Dam, Power Company, and later, the Golf Course and RV Park- the Hotel became a popular destination for motoring tourists traveling up the newly-completed Redwood Highway. The combination of seclusion and elegant hospitality also served as quite an attraction for the Hollywood elite. Spencer Tracy, Clark Gable, Alan Ladd, Charles Laughton, Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald, Joan Fontaine, Basil Rathbone were all patrons of the Inn.. Dignitaries such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover and Lord Halifax also enjoyed the Benbow hospitality. Guests enjoyed all the amenities of fine dining and luxurious rooms, along with the best of the great outdoors: riding stables, golf course, hiking trails, swimming, boating and fishing in the Eel River.
