MONTGOMERY HISTORICAL TOWER
Reimagining History in Montgomery, Alabama
We converted an aging office tower into a hotel that extends the civil rights story. Our team tackled design, construction, and vision to create spaces where guests experience history.
Our Client
EJI, a leading civil rights advocacy organization, operates powerful museums and memorials in Montgomery. Their visitors needed lodging that continued their educational journey. They had a powerful vision but required our hospitality development expertise to make it a reality.
The Challenge
Montgomery needed accommodations that matched the significance of its civil rights sites. Existing hotels failed to deliver:
- Standard offerings disconnected from historic context
- Environments contradicting the memorial’s message
- No thoughtful extension of the visitor journey
The client knew exactly what was needed but lacked the technical expertise to execute their vision.
Our Approach
We developed a complete transformation plan connecting buildings, experiences, and purpose. Our strategy centered on three core elements:
- Converting vision into tangible design
- Connecting historic spaces meaningfully
- Creating distinct areas for varied audiences
This integrated approach created a one-of-a-kind hospitality experience that meaningfully extends the memorial’s impact. It provides visitors with spaces that honor history while delivering exceptional accommodations.
