Historic Hotel Woodland is a Spanish Colonial Revival landmark on Main Street in Woodland, California, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Completed in 1928 and designed by prominent Bay Area architect W. H. Weeks, the hotel was built to serve as an upscale gathering place for Yolo County's most populous city.
