A hallmark of the Joie de Vivre brand is that every hotel is deeply and uniquely of its place. For the El Capitan Hotel and Mainzer Theater, that place is on Main Street Merced, in California's Central Valley, and within a 90-minute drive of Yosemite National Park or the San Francisco Bay Area. The locale and the El Capitan properties are further defined by a history shaped by the railroad, ranching and agriculture, and a connection to Yosemite that dates to a time with Merced was truly the last stop for provisions before the last leg of the journey into the park.
El Capitan Hotel features a restaurant serving classic California dishes inspired by the local bounty and produce of the Central Valley. The offerings extend throughout this historic property with three main outlets: From a full service three meal period restaurant, to a cafe bar and garden courtyard, where artisan coffees, crafted cocktails and lighter fare nourish locals and travelers alike. The property will host a bodega style market as well.
A short walk from El Capitan Hotel, Mainzer Theater is a communal gathering space for hosting live entertainment. The theater, with its multiple functions and spaces, features a screening room, a game room and a restaurant serving approachable American comfort food.
Near art galleries, the playhouse, movies, live entertainment at Merced Theater and Multicultural Arts Center, and seasonal events, the properties' role within the Main Street community and Merced's history is to serve as a vital, cultural hub within the Central Valley.
