Hotel Ivanhoe

Also known as the Roberts Hotel, Ferndale Hotel, and the Italian-Swiss Hotel, Hotel Ivanhoe was the first and is the last of Ferndale’s original hostelries. Originally built in 1870, burned to the ground and rebuilt in 1875, then remodeled in the late 1890’s, it is also the oldest building in Ferndale’s historic district. After a second fire in 1943, the upstairs hotel ceased operations. Major renovations started in 1997, and the upstairs hotel reopened in 2001. Affectionately known by the community as “The Ivanhoe,” it is the oldest, most westerly hotel in the continental United States.
