Hey there, Charlotte! Big news is lighting up the skyline downtown as the historic Johnston Building at 212 S. Tryon St. is set to be transformed into a chic new hotel. On December 9, 2024, officials waved their magic wand and gave the thumbs-up for this exciting renovation project that promises to breathe new life into Uptown!
A Historic Transformation
Say goodbye to the building’s days as an office space and welcome its brand-new identity as The Beckworth Hotel. It’s all in good hands with San Francisco’s KHP Capital Partners leading the renovation charge. They’ve got some big plans up their sleeves, and they’re not holding back! This 17-floor gem, totaling 172,300 square feet, will see a delightful blend of historic charm and sleek modern amenities.
What’s in Store?
So, what can you expect from The Beckworth Hotel? According to Jeff Stulmaker, the partner and chief investment officer at KHP, the plans include a whopping 245 hotel rooms for all those travelers looking to explore the Queen City. But that’s not all! Guests will also be treated to a ground-floor restaurant and a cozy coffee shop, perfect for that morning pick-me-up.
If you’re in town for a conference or celebration, you’ll be delighted to find a sprawling 10,000-square-foot meeting room and a stunning 3,500-square-foot ballroom that can host everything from business meetings to elegant weddings. And let’s not forget the cherry on top—a fabulous rooftop bar where you can sip cocktails while soaking in gorgeous views of the city skyline. Talk about a scenic escape!
Keeping the Charm Alive
One of the most exciting aspects of this renovation is the careful preservation of the building’s historic features. The Johnston Building has stood for many years, and now it’s getting a new lease on life while maintaining the character that makes it special. This combination of the old and the new will give visitors an authentic experience that reflects both Charlotte’s rich history and its modern vibe.
