Ojai Valley Inn & SpaIn 1923, millionaire glass manufacturer Edward Drummond Libbey commissioned architect Wallace Neff to design an inn and clubhouse for the golf course of his dream community. The rambling adobe hacienda with tile roof and flagstone terrace harmonizing with the landscape was a prototype for what is now regarded as the Spanish Colonial architectural style. The idyllic 360° view of the Topa Topa mountain range inspired Frank Capra to portray The Ojai Valley as Shangri-La in his 1937 film classic Lost Horizon. The inn was enlarged and sensitively restored in the late 1980s, and in 1999 its acclaimed golf course was restored, which included the return of its two "lost" signature holes. |
