The Padre Hotel, a local Bakersfield landmark since 1928, is now undergoing renovation to transform itself back into a hotel after recent work failed to create condos. According to the Bakersfield Californian, the plans are to create grand entrances as well as upscale eateries and guest rooms. The exterior of the hotel will remain the same. 12-08
