Located on "The National Register of Historical Places" The Southern Hotel and Motte Historical Museum,located in sunny Perris,California is a terrific stop on you and your familys SoCal summer journeys!
In 1859 Bernardo Bernasconi came to America from Switzerland and later married Marcellina Orsi and together raised 6 children.
In 1886 they completed the construction of "the first hotel in the Perris Ca,to meet the needs of travelers and miners in the San Jacinto Valley".
Over the years the Southern Hotel fell into disrepair and so
in 1990 brothers Leon E. and John D. Motte purchased The Southern Hotel's property restoring it to its former glory!
Inside is a beautiful historic hotel very worth a visit and after a nice walk through downtown Perris,Ca!
