Head for the Sierra foothills for a weekend of amazing food, window shopping and hikes.
Kevin Carter and Cassie Davis have given Amador City’s historic Imperial Hotel, built in 1879, a fresh look that marries 19th century authenticity with modern creature comforts. If you don’t normally frequent the charming Sierra foothill towns of California’s Gold Country, you might miss Amador City. But this tiny town — at a third of a square mile, it’s the smallest city in the Golden State — has tales to tell and treasures to discover.
Settle in at Amador City’s newly renovated historic Imperial Hotel, then head for the bar for cocktails. Once Amador City’s shops open — around 11 a.m. — you can spend several hours strolling along, browsing the artfully displayed windows and shopping at Meyer’s Antiques & Victorian Closet or the tastefully sparse, French-driven Dreamy Whites boutique. Duck into the Amador Whitney Museum for an eye-opening exhibit of local history. You’ll find San Francisco’s 3 Fish Studios here too. They’re the ones who created the iconic image of the grizzly bear hugging the state of California.
The handful of low alcohol beers on tap includes the lovely Amador Gold, which pairs perfectly with the housemade focaccia selections , as well as sandwiches, pickle plates and inventive salads made by chef Justin Lewis. The Imperial’s restaurant is helmed by executive chef Max Benson in collaboration with consulting chef Michael Evans of San Francisco’s Atelier Crenn, Bar Tartine and Commonwealth. Chances are, you’ll be welcomed by Benson’s wife Brittany — turns out there are many Amador City industry couples, solidifying the community vision of hospitality — or general manager Shelly Scott, who has worked here since the 1990s.
