El Capitan Hotel, Part of Jdv by Hyatt

Located in the heart of downtown Merced, CA on Main and M Street, the hotel is housed in the former 19th century historic hotel of the same name and is within walking distance of area entertainment, shopping and retail. The 114 guestrooms capture the frontier spirit of earl California and the American West. The hotel includes a historically-preserved wing and newly-constructed wing with three one-bedroom suites, and nine junior suites, as well as corner rooms offering prime views of Main and M streets. Inspired by the golden warmth of the valley, the guest rooms use natural, hand-crafted materials and textures to evoke the surrounding landscape and draw the outside in. Architectural elements inspired by the 19th century train depot that underscores the history of Merced as a transportation hub and artwork celebrating the agricultural and cultural traditions of the region add the finishing touches to accommodations.
