History

The original hotel was built in 1911 and named the Colonial Hotel. It served many different people, but mostly workers from the nearby Standard Oil refinery (now the Chevron Richmond Refinery). In the 1930s it was purchased by J. V. McAfee, a former manager at the Claremont Hotel. He also changed its name to the Hotel Mac.[1]

Beginning in the 1940s and 1950s, however, Hotel Mac began to lose its popularity and character. In 1971 a fire damaged the structure, and it closed for business. In 1978 Bill Burnett and Griff Brazil formed a company to restore and reopen Hotel Mac as a fine dining restaurant. The hotel also reopened.[1]

In the fall of 2020, the restaurant's owner shuttered the restaurant's doors as a result of lost revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

Both the hotel and restaurant closed during the COVID-19 lockdowns, but the hotel reopened in 2021. The restaurant was sold to new owners, Richmond restaurateurs Blanca Zepedalomeli and her husband Juvenal Magna, who opened the restaurant and bar, now named Ristorante Biancoverde, on July 13, 2023.[3][4]

The hotel is notable because each of its 10 rooms are decorated with slightly different styles and color schemes.[5] Hotel Mac is a contributing property to the Point Richmond Historic District, and was also listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[6]
