At the north end of Eureka's Old Town, the Carter House launched Mark Carter's renowned hostelry empire. Mark Carter built this copy of an 1884 San Francisco Victorian as a family home in 1982. Soon afterward, he and his wife, Christi, began taking guests, and before long they also built the stately hotel across the street, the Hotel Carter. Later, they acquired the pretty Victorian Bell Cottage and the ultraluxurious Carter Cottage as well.
The 23 rooms in the large, full-service Hotel Carter have beautiful modern furnishings and pine four-posters. The suites have luxury appointments such as fireplaces and Jacuzzis with distant views of the waterfront. The original Carter House has seven rooms, furnished with antiques, Oriental rugs, and modern artwork. Rooms in the Bell Cottage are also individually decorated in grand Victorian fashion. If you want to splurge, reserve the Carter Cottage, a small home that was converted into one of the most luxurious lodgings in Northern California -- a minimansion with a chef's kitchen, two fireplaces, a grand bathroom with a whirlpool tub for two, and a private deck. The Carters offer an array of luxury accommodations, ranging from classic Victorian in the house and cottage to a softer, brighter, more contemporary look in the hotel. The ground level of the Hotel Carter houses one of Eureka's finest restaurants, Restaurant 301, where a full breakfast (included in the room rate) is served each morning.
