Overview
- A purchase agreement announced Monday puts the Mission Inn on track to change hands by late May.
- Ownership would transfer to the San Manuel Investment Authority, with the price and other terms undisclosed.
- Tribal leaders said the inn will join their non-gaming hospitality portfolio and that the annual Festival of Lights will continue.
- The move follows co-owner Duane Roberts’ death in November and reverses a posthumous note that said there were no active plans to sell.
- Opened in 1876 and listed as a National Historic Landmark, the Riverside hotel is famed for Mission Revival architecture, and the buyer’s portfolio includes the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach.
