A $180 million hotel expansion at Cache Creek Casino Resort, owned and operated by the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, has transformed it one of northern California’s largest upscale resort destinations.
The expansion opened to the public in late 2020. Designed by nationally recognized hospitality design firm HBG Design, the new 450,000-square-foot, 459-room resort hotel is located in the beautiful Capay Valley, where the Yocha Dehe Wintun also produces their own wines, olive oil, honey, almonds and other agricultural products.
“Architecturally, the exterior design fits seamlessly within its idyllic setting and is a fresh take on the California Mission-style aesthetic reflected in the four-diamond resort property,” said Nathan Peak, AIA, design director at HBG Design.
“Interiors draw heavily from the region’s agrarian landscape using organic and textural materials and patterns to connect the new resort hotel to the heart of the valley and its abundant agriculture,” added Emily Marshall, IIDA, HBG’s interior design director. “The guest experience relates beautifully to the region’s unique sense of place.”
The lobby bar/lounge incorporates maroon hues accented by golden tones and hive patterns recalling the honeybee and its agricultural significance to the valley. The Enso Sushi bar blends almond blossom inspired color and texture with natural wood grain and organic cork and bamboo. The C2 Steak & Seafood restaurant’s rich custom millwork and dramatic glass globe pendant light wall emulate the bounty of the valley’s wine country and cattle farms.
“The hotel tower and function spaces have been sited to amplify the limitless views over the valley,” said Peak. Cache Creek has raised the bar dramatically on guest amenity offerings with the upscale resort expansion. Guestrooms and suites offer panoramic views, while the glamourous two-story Presidential Suite offers a private media/theater room, private spa and fitness room. “There is nothing in the region quite like it,” adds Marshall. New entertainment and event amenities, a landscaped resort pool environment and a new full-service luxury spa complete the phased expansion.
