The Davenport Hotel has been

was the first hotel with air conditioning, housekeeping carts (designed
by Louis Davenport), a central vacum system, accordion ballroom doors and Crab
Louis (named for Louis Davenport). It opened with 405 guest rooms each supplied
with hot and cold water and fresh drinking water delivered through 30
miles of pipe. It was and is the grandest of
hotels built in a mission revival style with an abundance of
gold leaf, crystal, ornate wood carvings and antique furnishings Guests visiting the most famous hotel in the west
include Amelia Earhart, Mary Pickford, Clark Gable, Bob Hope,
Bing Crosby and almost every American president of the 20th century.
