Lonely Planet review for Panama Hotel Tea & Coffee House
Housed in a historical 1910 building that contains the only remaining Japanese bathhouse in the US (tours are available), this beautifully restored space doubles as a memorial to the neighborhood’s Japanese residents who were forced into internment camps during WWII. The owners found trunks full of left-behind belongings in the basement of the old hotel and have put them on display. Historical photos line the walls, and a glass window in the floor offers a peek at the building’s secrets.
