The historic Winnedumah Hotel in Independence, California, is set to reopen next month after a renovation.

The boutique hotel has an enviable position at the intersection of diverse landscapes, including the Sierra Nevada mountains, Mojave Desert, and Great Basin.

This unique location offers travellers to explore natural wonders such as Mount Whitney and other scenic highlights within the Eastern Sierra region.

The restored Winnedumah hotel will present guests with 21 standard queen rooms and three suites.

Its interiors feature 16ft-high ceilings within the Grand Lobby alongside an original stone fireplace while the hotel offers panoramic views of Mount Williamson, a curated retail selection and a dining room that doubles as a versatile meeting space.

In honour of its 100-year legacy, several original furnishings such as writing desks, luggage racks and mirrors have been refinished to preserve the character of the property.

Black Walnut Partners Coty Hastie said:  "Our vision for Winnedumah is to create an authentic and immersive experience that honours the hotel’s rich history while offering a refined, design-forward stay for today’s travellers.

"By thoughtfully weaving historic elements with contemporary design and collaborating with esteemed partners like Suay, In Common With, and DUSK, we’re excited to breathe new life into this storied landmark."
