The “Retrovation” of Lone Pine’s Historic Dow Hotel:
The Dow Hotel is proud to announce a plan to restore, renew and reclaim the charm of its roots! A full scale “retrovation” is underway that will highlight the hotels finest feature: its history. A return to classic simplicity will imbue the rooms of The Dow’s historic section with simple elegance, warmth, sophistication and authenticity. Taking stock of the original furnishings, the 1930s era Coronado line from the Angeles Furniture Company, The Dow Hotel has made a commitment to salvaging its own past and giving it new life with the help of Lucky Star Design & Decor. Capitalizing on the elements that make this region special and a go-to destination the world over, The Dow is taking an active role in the historical preservation of not only the hotel, but of Lone Pine itself. Showcasing Mt. Whitney and the early climbing culture, the rich ranching and cowboy lifestyle indicative of the area, and the Hollywood stage that is The Alabama Hills… these elements are Lone Pine, they are The Dow Hotel.
It has been the vision of The Lucky Star to re-create the historic grandeur of the The Dow, using the original Coronado suites by the Angeles Furniture Co., an “Early California” collectors’ dream! By using the original guest room décor, The Lucky Star is actively recycling and reusing the classic pieces, returning the original charm. With a nod to the beautiful vintage lodges of our wonderful park systems The Historic Dow Hotel finds itself in a boutique category complete with: premium woolen camp blankets, pounded wrought iron details, custom hand-painted pieces and regionally significant artwork featuring photos of area lore and history all working to imbue retro style and modern day comfort.
