The Waterhouse
Historic brick, white linens, warm light, and timeless elegance — a refined space that moves effortlessly from business meetings to unforgettable celebrations.
Refined elegance inside 1860 brick walls.
Set within the historic brick of the original 1860 building, the Waterhouse blends refined elegance with the natural beauty of the Sierra Nevada — striking water-inspired landscapes and graceful pendant lighting.
By day it hosts weekday corporate meetings and trainings; by evening it becomes cocktail receptions, networking evenings, and intimate celebrations. Serene, sophisticated, and distinctly Northern California.

“Waterhouse quietly made our board dinner the highlight of the entire retreat. Warm, precise, and completely unlike a corporate dining room.”
