Downtown Fresno's New $30M Courtyard Hotel Opens After 28-Year Wait
A five-story, 144-room hotel opens its doors to guests Tuesday on a downtown Fresno corner that sat empty for a generation. The Courtyard by Marriott Fresno Downtown rises at the corner of M and Inyo streets, right next to the Fresno Convention Center, finally filling a gap that city leaders had been trying to patch since at least the late 1990s.

Sunsets, craft cocktails, shareable plates: Check out Fresno's hidden rooftop bar
Quail State has a deck that can see miles of downtown Fresno. Someone walking on Fulton Street could be forgiven for missing the bar’s entrance. Quail State is an upscale cocktail bar and lounge on the second floor of the historic Pacific Southwest Building . There’s a board out front of the building that lets people know they need to go inside, and from there it’s a quick ride in the rich wood-paneled elevator to the building’s second floor, where the bar and its deck are located. Mandip Singh and Amritpaul Singh (no relation) bought Quail State in 2023, but it was first founded by Josh and Hayley Islas-Wolf in 2021. When Mandip and Amritpaul took the bar over, they decided they wanted to create more of a community aspect and added a food menu, as well as almost-daily events focused on art and socializing. “It’s not a club vibe,” Mandip said. “It’s for all age groups.” People can either get shareables or a full meal, depending on what they’re in the mood for, with options including pizza, pasta, salads and wings (Quail State makes their own lemon pepper sauce in-house), but one particular appetizer came highly recommended from bartender
