It’s not uncommon to spot an A-lister among the 1,890 residents of Los Alamos: Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell, and Emilio Estevez operate businesses here. Little L.A., as it’s now known, hasn’t seen this much swagger since the late 19th century, when the Pacific Coast Railway arrived and the regal 1880 Union Hotel opened its doors. Today the inn is something of a time capsule. A Garfield for president poster hangs in the lobby kitted out in lace, velvet, and floral wallpaper. Up a creaky wooden staircase are 14 guest rooms, which make up in quirk what they lack in modern conveniences.
