“To have every guest not question why they stayed here, but to question why they didn’t stay here before…”

Harry Handlery

1888-1965

For four generations, the Handlery family has been dedicated to welcoming guests to the captivating surroundings of California. Our journey began with our founder, Harry Handlery, whose vision and motto—“To have every guest not question why they stayed here, but to question why they didn’t stay here before”—set the standard for the exceptional hospitality we strive to provide today.

This family story embodies the American Dream, with Harry, a poor immigrant boy, finding success and providing a better life for his children. Paul followed in his footsteps, passing on the family business to his sons. Jon, in particular, has taken on leadership roles within the company, becoming General Manager of Handlery Union Square Hotel in 1996 and President of Handlery Hotels in 2008. He aims to continue this legacy and hopes to have his children, including his son Jack and his daughter Laura, carry on the family tradition as the fourth generation of Handlery hoteliers.
