History

The Hotel Beaumont was built in 1922, at a cost of $1 million, by a group of 277 investors. The 11-story hotel had 250 rooms and two ballrooms, the Rose Room, and the Sky Room on the roof.

The building was used as a retirement community from 1977–2011.

The building was sold at auction in 2014. [2] [3] [4] It was sold again in 2019 to developer Mack Patel, who announced plans to renovate it as a 138-room hotel. In 2023, it was reported that the renovations had been delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, but that they are still paneled in the near future. [5]
