Founded in 1848, Jamestown is filled with historical reminders of California's gold-rush past. Located in the center of Jamestown, the National Hotel has played host to travelers for over 130 years. Guests return again and again to enjoy the National Hotel's quaint accommodations, outstanding cuisine and warm and friendly service.

Make the historic national hotel your home base and after seeking out the treasures in places like Columbia State Park, Angels Camp, Calaveras Big Trees, Dodge Ridge and Bear Valley ski resorts, Yosemite National Park, Chinese Camp, local wineries and your own special finds (and there will be many more), you can come home to that really great cocktail, an outstanding dinner, a very fine bottle of wine, good company with whom to share your day's discoveries and a comfortable bed to ready you for tomorrow's adventures!

You will love our nine award-winning restored hotel rooms; each with wonderful brass beds, patchwork quilts, lace curtains, friendly ghost and the feeling that lingers from the days when the hotel was in its first glory. Among the newer amenities are modern plumbing with oak pull chain toilets and great mattresses too! All rooms have private bathrooms. Each room is charmingly authentic, individually appointed and includes most of the original furnishings.

Start your day with our homemade breads, basket of fresh fruit, sliced melons, assorted cereals and juices, hard-boiled eggs, toast, freshly brewed coffee or assorted teas and the morning paper. Taking a day trip? Going for a hike? Just ask for a picnic basket the day before and we'll provide you with a sumptuous repast!
