Originally opened in 1928, Hotel 1928 is the restoration and adaptive reuse of the former Grand Karem Shrine Building. Combining their passion for home, hospitality, and restoration, Chip and Joanna Gaines and AJ Capital Partners partnered to re-envision this historic building to create a hospitality experience with 33 guest rooms, three food and beverage outlets, a Library, and boardroom to remember.
Hotel 1928 invites you and yours to celebrate within these storied walls.
The hotel offers event catering, in-room dining, The Café at Hotel 1928, and two full-service restaurants with private dining and full buy-out options. On the ground floor, The Brasserie at Hotel 1928 serves Southern classics with a Texas twist, while Bertie’s on the Rooftop serves seasonal dishes with a fresh perspective and a generous rooftop.
With 33 guest rooms, including a group suite that sleeps up to ten, your guests will have plenty of accommodation options. Suites offer groups of different sizes space to prepare for the day with a selection of services including private yoga sessions, brunches, and spa treatments.
Reach out to the Hotel 1928 team today for more information on how you can host a celebration to treasure.
