Hacienda Lodge is a peaceful, rustic retreat located approximately 60 miles southeast of the Monterey Peninsula, near King City, California. Set in the scenic hills of Fort Hunter Liggett, the lodge offers a unique blend of history and tranquility, ideal for those looking to explore the region's natural beauty. The lodge building was designed by architect Julia Morgan and completed in 1930 by William Randolph Hearst. The property was placed in the National Register of Historic Places on December 2, 1977. The lodge includes a restaurant, lounge, cantina, offices, public assembly rooms, guest rooms, a swimming pool and a tennis court. Hearst sold the structure and its surrounding property to the United States Army in 1940 for use as a training facility. Responsibility for the land and buildings was assumed by the Army at Fort Hunter Liggett. Today, the Army still owns the building and, a concessionaire operates it as a public hotel within the military base.
