In 2016 the building was converted into a 21c Museum Hotel. The building was reconfigured into 88 hotel rooms, a restaurant and museum space. Renovations were expected to cost in excess of $43 million. [3] The hotel opened in December 2016. It was then inducted into Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, in 2019. [4]
