Marconi Conference Center SHP

State Historic Park

The Marconi Conference Center is situated on wooded hills overlooking scenic Tomales Bay in Marin County.

The California State Parks Foundation acquired the property in 1984 with Buck Trust funds, remodeled it as a conference center, and gave it to the California Department of Parks and Recreation which now operates it as a non-profit facility.

The conference center operation enables these grounds to be preserved and protected, while the historical buildings constructed by Marconi await restoration.

Marconi Hotel Restoration
The main building of the Marconi Wireless Station on this site is known as the Marconi Hotel and is destined to become a grand landmark when restoration is finally accomplished.

Restoration of the Marconi Hotel will provide administration facilities, gift shop, conference services rooms, lounges and museum; on the second floor will be a fully restored guest room, library/reading room, and a variety of meeting rooms.

This was quite a remote site in 1914 when the Hotel housed station workers and Marconi guests. It offered the conveniences of a library, dining hall, billiard room and state-of-the-art plumbing. Built of concrete and tile, the three-story building's front verandah was designed in the classic Italinate villa style.
