The Landing is an independent hotel designed for both visitors of the high desert and the local community. Our Lodge provides a welcoming atmosphere, whether it’s morning coffee or a sunset dinner after hiking up Goat Mountain.
All views from the lodge are orientated towards Goat mountain.
Landers is home to the original desert scientist. A massive free-standing boulder, beautifully dark skies, and alleged alien activity drew thousands of inquirers to an outdoor Space Convention in the early 1950’s and 60’s. They were united by a curiosity for the unknown. Explorers of the unexplainable.
The Landing strives to celebrate that mindset of the original desert scientist. Pre-internet, pre-moon landing, we believe there was a fantasy about space worth preserving. This open-minded outlook is still an important aspect of Landers today. Its small yet diverse population is a haven for all ages; a cosmos of artists, off-roaders, and aliens.
OUR GUEST EXPERIENCE
The Landing is a quiet hotel, offering a respite to explore the desert countryside. From the Integratron and Gubler Orchids, to La Copine and Pappy & Harriets, there are several desert establishments worth a visit. Our backyard connects to miles of off-roading trails and beautiful nature hikes. Whether you're here for a weekend escape or to explore the breathtaking desert landscape, be sure to unwind in our outdoor onsen and sweat lodge.
THE MARKET
Designed for locals, this small yet well-stocked shop plans to offer coffee and food essentials at a much closer distance than currently available. Try a fresh pastry or homemade frozen yogurt as a special treat. Grab picnic essentials or a bagel sandwich to take with you on a hike. It’s a pitstop for the locals and an ideal shop for our guests to provision.
THE ONSEN
Our take on a communal Japanese spa, inspired by the rugged desert landscape. The design provides sheltered outdoor space, a maze of mineral water leading to unique relaxation spaces. Brave our clay sweat lodge and reconnect to the natural world.
THE RESTAURANT + BAR
The food concept is fiery and tasty, highlighting the desert environment and its rugged topography. Our space aims to be a timeless desert pub; both a watering hole to seek shelter from the sun, but also a dining room for that special occasion.
THE OBSERVATORY
As a dark sky hotel, we strive to offer an unmatched viewing of outer space. Plan a trip for a rare comet sighting or join a masterclass on constellations from a local expert. Home to multiple extraterrestrial landings, Landers is the ideal spot to witness otherworldly magic.
