In 1985, San Francisco Bay Area designer Tom Brooks was commissioned to create an inn from an existing structure of a historic 1940’s California-Spanish style firehouse and Clocktower. Focusing on the Spanish influences predominant in the American Southwest, he transformed the main hall of the firehouse into a comfortable lobby with fiber wall hangings, origianl art, beamed ceilings, handsome wood furnishings, and a large fireplace. Thus, the Clocktower Inn Hotel, Ventura, California with its easy grace and artistic simplicity, has evolved; perfectly suited to Southern California hospitality. We are located in the heart of historic downtown Ventura in a beautiful park setting, the Inn is adjacent to Mission San Buenaventura and the Historical Museum. The State Beach, restaurants, antique shops, boutiques, and County Fairgrounds are all within easy walking distance. The temperate year-round climate allows plenty of time to take advantage of local attractions. Come share our tradition of warmth and hospitality that is as distinctive as our clocktower
