Hotel History
Since 1948, Valley Hotel has been a part of Palmer. With the close of World War II, weary travelers began to stay the night and swap stories of gold mining in the mountains to the north, coal mines nearby, and of farming beginning to thrive again. The hotel is still a center for farmers, gold miners, and local legends.

“This place strikes me as a true Palmer original, a throwback to a different era with its historical roots and that 24/7 diner-you can't fake that kind of legacy. I get the sense it's a practical spot for hitting the local trails or catching an event, a good basecamp. While some may find it a bit rough around the edges aesthetically, the commitment to community and those huge portions at the cafe definitely stand out.”
