Tahitian Village stood at the corner of Lakewood and Rosecrans in Downey, California, a midcentury motor hotel born from the Tiki craze sweeping Southern California in the 1950s and 1960s. Polynesian-themed lounges and motor courts gave postwar suburbia a taste of exotic escape. Places like this turned an ordinary overnight stay into something that felt like a voyage. Part of our Vintage Tiki collection, celebrating the defunct golden era bars of yesteryear.
