Hearst Castle Upstairs Suites Tour in San Simeon
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Hearst Castle, on Pacific Coast Highway, has many different tours you can take. We did the Grand Rooms Tour for our last video ( • Hearst Castle: Grand R... ) but for this video we wanted to try something different and went with the Upstairs Suites Tour. We both really enjoyed it as it gave you a lot of historical information about the house and the guests while letting you see many of the lavish rooms. Check it out if you get a chance and be sure to visit the Neptune Pool which was just reopened.

I've been on a tour once when I was about 19-20 years old with my family.. it's unbelievable how much wealth, history and extremely amazing architecture is in that place. Only a handful of people in the history in human existence have ever lived in such extravagance. It's astonishing.
Yeah, goodness, I've been here several times over the years, since the 1960's, and this place never gets outdated. That being said, I've never taken the upstairs tour; so now I have another reason to visit again, amazing. I'm aware the Neptune Pool recently underwent a massive restoration and it looks fabulous.
Yea, I had been many times over the last 7 years and had never seen the pool filled. I was glad to finally be able to see it!
I have taken the standard tours several times but it looks like the upstairs tour would be worth doing just to see the celestial room and library. Glad you got to see the Neptune Pool; it was being remodeled when I was there last year. One tip: the new movie about Hearst Castle featured at the Visitors Center is the absolute best video of its kind that I have seen at a historic site. Well worth viewing.
Yea, this was my first time not taking the Grand Rooms tour and I can't wait to go back and check out some of the other ones. It was also my first time seeing the Neptune Pool and it was pretty epic to see. I will have to check out the video next time!
i visited hearst castle in 2009 when i was 18 years old with my brother and sister
really nice to watch videos of this place here on UA-cam
awesome video

Thanks for sharing this part of the Hearst Castle Tour!
In the early 90’s my Mom, older brother, & I took the tour that didn’t include the bedrooms, so that was very neat to see!
After our tour( that included the cool indoor pool!), I was browsing the books in the gift shop, as I always liked to buy a book from a place I’ve traveled to, my Mom recommended I buy the book that Marion Davies wrote, saying the perspective of
“the Mistress” might be more interesting, than the typical books written about WRH & San Simeon etc. And it DEFINITELY was worth it! Such a fun read!
I still remember there was one line in the book where she made mention that William Randolph Hearst seemed to have endless “energy”, and often the parties they hosted, would run into the wee hours of the morning, she remarked, “ He was always rearing to go, while the rest of us were dying on the vine” Lol, I definitely recommend people check out the Hearst Castle if they are in the area, it’s a bit pricey for obvious reasons as maintaining that historic property has to be costly, but it’s worth every penny, and the views of the ocean from up there are breathtaking!
As I recall from my visit in 1983, all of the art, statues, ornate ceilings and part of the exterior was the original piece of work. Seeing The 3 Graces standing casually on the grounds was fantastic.
Thank you for posting these clips. I use them in my History Classes to give students a quick overview of Hearst Castle.
Definitely take the upstairs tour. The rooms are much prettier than the 1st floor, "Great Rooms".
Awesome! We actually did the Designing the Dream tour 2 weeks ago. I can’t believe that Hearst had a pay phone for his guest to use !
Such a crazy spot with so many little things like that to see when you visit!
How cool would it be to go back in time and stay here as a guest of Hearst and all his celebrity friends.
That place looks neat. It’s on my list of Adventures! Thanks for showing highlights!
No problem, Hearst Castle is well worth the visit!
SO EXCITED!! HEARST CASTLE IS ON MY BUCKET LIST!!!
Its an awesome spot to see on a Highway 1 drive which is also a good thing to add to a bucket list :)
I remember going back in 2012 it was very beautiful
Thanks so much for taking Us to all of the Beautiful places in California!! ❣️
No problem, I love exploring as much of the state as possible!
I've always wanted to go there. Thanks for taking us along!
I was there in 2015 wish I had done the upstairs tour ,maybe next time , nice to see water in the Neptune pool was empty when I was there , thanks for sharing 👍
Yea, it is so awesome to see the pool finally full again!
I haven’t been there but would love to visit there some day. Thank you for the video... 😊😊😊
No problem, it is def worth the visit!
This was awesome! I showed my 10th grade students! They loved it! Thank you!
Can't wait to go, great video, love the 4K resolution very nice.
Thanks! I have been trying to shoot everything in 4K, need to get some bigger hard drives now to keep up haha
an amazing place to be sure. Well done you two.
Thank you for the comment!
It’s on my bucket list,beautiful Estate.That pool though 😃👋
I know right? It is so amazing!
Hi Josh and Amy my family and I absolutely LOVE your videos. We have gone to several of your suggested attractions and really enjoy them. I hope one day you will travel a bit further North and do a Vancouver, BC, Canada trip. I would love to see you do a video there.
Thank you so much for the comment and for watching. I am glad the videos have inspired some travels! I hope to make it up to Vancouver one of these days!
😍😍😍😍 I'm totally mad about everything Hearst related. Thanks for sharing this with us!!
There is a ton of interesting history with the Hearst family for sure.
I can’t remember what tours I have done, but I definitely haven’t done this one! The libraries are amazing - would love to look through the books. The pools are my favorite though - I just want to get in them both! Excellent as always 👍
I agree 100%, the pools are always my favorite things to see as well :)
Nice video, as always, of course! Thanks to you guys, I’m putting so many miles on my poor car lol. Thank you for always giving us great ideas of where to go. And although I’ve visited this place before, seeing that the Neptune pool is finally restored, it’s a good reason to go back 👍🏼😃
haha, you wouldn't believe the miles I put on my poor car haha
I heard there’s 3 different tours ... which would you recommend ?
I would like to live there. So well preserved. Thanks from your heavenly brother Charlie "A38man of God" Ososami. Peace
Thanks for that! You’re getting pretty good at this stuff! Rox from Cali
Hey thanks! Appreciate that!
Wowww impressive
I want it, also I am about to make the 6th sense, it is sound but refined, defined and mixed with the fashion of the 1920s.
I’ve been here. It really was that amazing
I agree 100%
Hearst looks amazing. Haven’t got there yet.
Def worth checking out for sure!
The Hearst castle is a place that many architectural students visit! Julia Morgan is one of the first female architects, she studied in Paris FRANCE. She was beyond her time in skill, she retrofitted the castle for earthquake's, and suspended the ceilings on wire's, to help with movement from earthquake's! I have been to Europe and by far the Hearst Castle is my happy place I grew up going to the Hearst castle, since I was 4 year's old! I know a ton of stuff about it, I love History because of it! You can't go wrong, with going here, trust me! It is a rare GEM!
The indoor pool is GORG
Wow you gained 3000 odd subs since the last video. Well deserved growth Josh & Amy😁
Johnny Utah I know, super crazy right? Not sure how it has grown so fast in the last week but not complaining!
Beautiful ❤2👑👑👸🏾💯
Wonderful. Thank you so much.
I did the Grand Rooms Tour 20 years ago and will be visiting Hearst Castle again in December. In your opinion, does the Upstairs Suites Tour better than the Grand Rooms Tour (this time I will be visiting with my wife and my 14-yrs old daughter, while 20 years ago I was visiting alone). Thanks!
Awesome
Nice they finished the outdoor pool, sadly it was under construction when I went 😞
WOW, so awesome place man❤
I remember going there on school field trip
I need to do the suites tour. I have done the main tour twice.
Nice video, once the tour complete how long we can be there ?
Looks very Tartarian style structured
Is it possible to take both grand room and upstair tour in the same day? Thanks.
Can you walk around alone outside of whichever tour you pick?
Ooh, it's Amy at the beginning. 😉
What are the 2 bexst tours in your opinion since you have seen most tours?
Were there elevators for the people who lived there?
I Miss that place been there ! but they wont let us film only take pictures.... i wish i could film
My great grandfather used to work there as a grounds keeper. My mother said that she was able to swim in that pool naked. Lol.
1:06 best view of the whole tour....😏
I have 🏊 in that pool many times with the employees once a year.
Can we swim in the pool?
👌
Im going there for a school filed trip
The video is so dark, it’s hard to see the rooms. I realize you can’t use flash lighting inside but this could’ve been enhanced in editing.
I toured the castle several decades ago and the only thing I really recall is how dark it was. The pictures really give the feel of it when there.
When Lady Gaga shoot here for G.U.Y music video it was iconic
When I was a kid I went here and me and my sister got to open some doors and walk on gold
So they maintain the pools but no one is allowed to swim in them? Kind of dumb.
THE LOUD HOUSE / THE FAIRLY ODDPARENTS
Вы очень классные ヽ(´▽｀)/💕
PATY HEARST ?
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HEIRS
OF THE PROPERTY?
They still have a small bungalow on the property and they own most if not all the land surrounding the hill.
can you swim in the pool
It looks like a church more than like a castle.
It’s cuz the architecture is based on a cathedral in Spain. And much of it is based on Mexican/ Spanish architecture which usually was reserved for churches and missions.
Cmere
can u get in the pools ?
Hasn't changed much in 50 years when I went with a girlfriend..so beautiful
2:45 This is not where Lady Gaga shot her video G.U.Y. ????!!!
This is where she did
Get a lil deeper broham
looks way too overdecorated. i'd prefer a simpler interior
It’s unlikely anyone in this time and economy could pull something off like this. Following the 1950’s most countries enacted strict export laws so that these describe items could no longer leave their native shores and were preserved for the nation. Hearst had the luck to be wealthy at a time when the First World War decimated Europe and their governments were willing to part with their treasures at wholesale.
