Cosmopolitan Hotel

The Cosmopolitan dates back to 1827, when it was the Mexican adobe home of Juan and Refugio Bandini.
In 1869 Albert and Emily Seeley purchased the home, added a second floor in American wood-frame construction,
and opened as The Cosmopolitan Hotel, serving the community as a stagecoach stop and community gathering place through 1888.
After many years of many uses, The Cosmo underwent a $6.5 million, 3-year renovation, completed in 2010, for which it won three prestigious awards for historic preservation.
