ABOUT OUR TAVERN

There’s a rich history behind the tavern space connected to Hotel Charlotte. Charlotte DeFerrari, an Italian immigrant and pioneering businesswoman, began her entrepreneurial journey by cooking for local workers and settlers in Groveland. In 1918, she constructed a building on the site of an old livery stable, which would later become part of the hotel. By 1921, she officially opened Hotel Charlotte, and in 1925, she acquired the adjacent Gem Saloon. Between 1927 and 1928, she replaced the old saloon with a new restaurant building, expanding her establishment to include dining services .​

Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, the Charlotte Hotel and Restaurant became the most prominent hostelry in Groveland, known for its hospitality and Charlotte’s culinary skills.  Today, this historic space, once a bustling hub for locals and travelers alike, offers a unique venue steeped in history and charm.
