Hotel Elkhart is in downtown Elkhart, Indiana and has been recognized by Indiana Landmarks for the comprehensive renovation of the property. The $19 million revitalization project of Hotel Elkhart transformed the 1923 property to its original glory, while maintaining the historic attributes that make the building special and incorporating modern comforts.
For over a century, Hotel Elkhart has been the tallest downtown building, resulting in the property physically and metaphorically having a large presence in the community. Originally built as a hotel, the building has seen many lives as a hotel, an apartment building, an office building and lastly as senior housing.
In 2017, with renewed interest in revamping the core of downtown, Cressy Commercial Real Estate and Mno-Bmadsen, the non-gaming investment arm of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, joined forces as 500 Main, LLC, to undertake a complete renovation of the historic hotel. The project created 93 guest rooms, two restaurants, a ballroom, meeting space, a rooftop bar, fitness room and commercial laundry facilities. The group also made the decision to join Hilton’s Lifestyle Brand, Tapestry Collection by Hilton. And since opening, the property consistently ranks in the top ten properties in the Hilton Tapestry portfolio.
