601–605 Main Street — The Historic Capital Hotel Building
Downtown Woodland, CA | Mixed-Use Retail, Office & Residential
Anchoring the signalized corner of First and Main in the heart of downtown Woodland, the Capital Hotel Building is one of the most recognizable and architecturally significant properties in Yolo County. Built in 1869 and designed and constructed by Michael O'Connell for A.S. House, this commercial Italianate brick building is the oldest existing commercial building in Woodland and was the city's first hotel. Originally opened as the Planter House with 54 rooms, it was renamed the Capital Hotel in 1871, with subsequent renovations to the original structure in 1879 and 1902.
A major rehabilitation beginning in 2007 brought the building back to life as a modern mixed-use complex, including a full seismic retrofit and an extensive restoration that earned historical preservation and design awards. The result is a property that pairs 19th-century character with 21st-century systems and code compliance, a combination that simply cannot be replicated in today's market.
Ground Floor: Burger Saloon, a well-established downtown restaurant and bar operating in the space since 2011, with a full commercial kitchen, sidewalk seating, and separate ground-floor storage.
Second Floor: Three professional office suites served by common-area restrooms, accessed from the Main Street entrance.
Third Floor: Residential apartments with exposed brick, high ceilings, and oversized windows overlooking Main Street, along with dedicated rear parking for residents.
Character & Features:
The primary Main Street entrance opens to a winding, open staircase that showcases the building's restored historic detailing, setting a tone that few office environments in the region can match. Original brick, tall ceilings, and abundant natural light run throughout the upper floors. Accessibility upgrades completed during the renovation included the addition of an elevator, and the property also includes a large basement for storage.
Location:
The building sits at the center of Woodland's Main Street corridor, within the Downtown Woodland Historic District, a National Register district spanning Main Street from Elm to Third with fifty-nine contributing buildings. Tenants enjoy immediate walking access to restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, boutiques, and services, along with the Woodland Opera House, the State Theatre, and the Yolo County Courthouse and county offices. Street parking and public parking lots surround the district. Downtown Woodland offers direct access to I-5 and Highway 113, placing Davis and UC Davis roughly ten minutes away and downtown Sacramento within twenty.
