The Hotel Stockton was built in 1910 as a 252 guest room hotel.  It is a historic landmark building, nominated and accepted for the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. Designed by Architect Edgar B. Brown, the Hotel's facade, particularly its roof line, is a large and prominent example of the Mission Revival style. It is six stories in height (plus a basement), comprising over 145,000 square feet.

The renovation project consists of a mixed use development incorporating apartments and future ground floor retail and restaurant uses. A historic rooftop terrace overlooking the channel and waterfront square is expected to become a public space once again, connected to future anticipated restaurant use. This restaurant will be popular with the patrons of the adjacent multiplex sixteen-screen theatre complex which was completed in late 2003.  The adaptive reuse and rehabilitation of the Hotel Stockton is carefully and delicately balanced proposal. It enables the feasibility of what is, by all accounts, a very challenging undertaking programmatically, technically, and most of all financially. The project has received funding from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee, the Federal Historic Tax Credit, the City of Stockton, as well as private investments. When completed, the development will rehabilitate an important City historic resource, provide comfortable and safe housing, provide for development of retail and restaurant uses that will enhance activity on the street, complement the adjacent multi-screen state-of-the-art cinema complex, and provide a major boost to the ongoing efforts to revitalize downtown Stockton. The Stockton will once again inspire, delight, and provide useful function to the city and its citizens.
