Hotel Del Monte was opened on June 10, 1880 by Charles Crocker and the Pacific Improvement Company.
The hotel burned twice -- first on June 1, 1887 and again on the night of October 28, 1924.
The Old Del Monte golf course that opened in 1897 is the oldest in continuous operation west of the Mississippi River. The hotel was damaged and two people were killed by the April 18, 1906 Earthquake. We have photos of the Hotel Del Monte Art Gallery that opened in 1907. In 1908 The Great White Fleet visited Monterey from May 1-4, The Del Monte Hotel was hosted a grand ball for the officers of the fleet. Hotel Del Monte was rebuilt in 1926-27 and in 1943 was used as a Navy pre-flight training school. The Navy purchased the hotel and 627 acres in 1947 for 2.5 million and it is now the home of the Naval Postgraduate School since 1951.
