The historic firehouse, originally built in 1911, is nearing completion after undergoing extensive renovations. With an estimated cost of $27 million, this project marks an exciting new addition to the hospitality industry.
Located at 503 Bryan Ave, the newly renovated building will be known as Nobleman Hotel and will offer 153 elegant guest rooms. The hotel’s dining experience will be provided by its on-site restaurant called The Duchess which will operate under the prestigious Hilton brand.
