The Roaring Twenties were filled with prosperity and cultural explosion as the United States saw booms in the use of films, radio, telephones, and automobiles. Rising economic fortunes in conjunction with the increase in automobile use made travel for leisure more possible. The Hotel Cordova (The Cordova Inn, currently) joined the scene with its European Art Deco style in 1921. Owned by the Cordova family for more than thirty years, local legend states Hotel Cordova still holds the original spirit of service excellence from decades ago, and that spirit can still be felt roaming through the foyer and hallways.
