CHICO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / October 30, 2025 / The Oxford Collection, a family-owned and operated portfolio of boutique and suite-style hotels across the West Coast, has officially opened Hotel Katerina in Chico, California. Located at 1930 Baney Lane, this four-story, 112-room property blends refined design and modern comfort with the signature hospitality the Oxford Collection is known for.

Hotel Katerina is the third boutique hotel in the growing Oxford Collection portfolio, which includes the award-winning Oxford Hotel Bend in Oregon and Arctic Club Hotel in Seattle, Washington. Thoughtfully developed by the Oxford Collection, the property marks a sophisticated new chapter for Northern California's lodging scene. Drawing inspiration from equestrian tradition, it features rich leather details, classic black-and-white tiling, and curated artwork that reflects a timeless yet inviting California lifestyle.

Elevated Experiences: Dining, Views and Gatherings

Hotel Katerina features Rancher's Daughter, a restaurant showcasing locally sourced ingredients and an inventive take on modern California cuisine. Guests and locals alike can enjoy an approachable yet elevated menu in a warm, inviting setting that pays homage to the region's agricultural heritage.

The hotel also includes a rooftop bar offering panoramic foothill views and an experience unlike any other in Chico. With hand-crafted cocktails, a curated wine list, and a relaxed yet sophisticated ambiance, the rooftop bar provides a memorable setting for both intimate evenings and lively gatherings.

For special events, weddings, and corporate functions, Hotel Katerina offers more than 5,000 square feet of versatile meeting and event space - among the largest in Chico. Supported by state-of-the-art technology, customizable catering from Rancher's Daughter, and a dedicated event services team, gatherings at Hotel Katerina are designed to be seamless, inspiring, and unforgettable.

Spanning more than 83,000 square feet, the hotel combines unique amenities that surprise and delight. Guests enjoy spacious King and Two-Queen suites, an outdoor pool and hot tub, fitness center, sauna, and steam room, along with a lobby lounge designed for both productivity and relaxation.

Distinctive in-room touches include Crosley turntables with curated vinyl records, Fellow pour-over kits featuring locally roasted Stoble Coffee, and a soap menu offering handmade bars from local artisan Karita's Soap. Complimentary cruiser bikes, in-room dining, and cozy design elements throughout encourage guests to slow down, reconnect, and savor their stay.

A Commitment to Community and Growth
