Presented by Ace Bailey

Did you know that Hotel Valley Ho was once a Hollywood hideaway? In its heyday, the hotel was host to Bing Crosby, Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh, Natalie Wood, and Zsa Zsa Gabor, among others! Designed by acclaimed architectural firm Edward L. Varney Associates, Hotel Valley Ho is considered one of the best-preserved Mid-Century Modern hotels in the country. Explore the hotel’s classic design elements during a 90-minute walking tour of the buildings and grounds with resident historian Ace Bailey.
