Description
The Ryde Hotel located in Ryde in the California's Sacramento River Delta, was once an establishment with a bawdy reputation. Back in the day, I was a speak-easy, a saloon, a casino, a shady hangout, and much more. It has seen many wealthy patrons in its day. It sat along the river levee derelict for many years. Then it was purchased and refurbished, gaining a great reputation in modern times. They have expanded the property and greatly enhanced it.
Weather beaten cabins used to sit on the grounds behind and below the levee. The new owners tore those down and put in a 9 hole golf course. But those cabins - This hotel features in my thriller, River Bones - Sara Mason Mysteries Book One. I placed my main character having grown up in one of those cabins. Across the levee is where the character's parent drown in a car accident when they flew off the levee and into the silty Sacramento River. It's all so tragic but has a wonderful ending.
But this is the Ryde Hotel, an iconic structure of the Delta. I will be posting many more images from around the property. This image was taken off-season, so the awning to the entry is down. The place is still open, just not as busy as other seasons. Many many weddings take place here too.
