The Hotel Elkhart in Elkhart, Indiana, recently celebrated the grand opening after the Cressy Commercial Real Estate completed construction after over two years of undergoing works and delays brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. The property was originally constructed as a hotel in 1923. It featured a restaurant, coffee shop, and various meeting spaces. During this time, it served as a hub for travelers, business leaders. Even some notable people in history such as Robert Kennedy and Ed Sullivan. The building functioned as a hotel until the early 1970s and then was utilized as an apartment complex and office tower.

The Corner Bar rightfully placed on the corner of Main Street and Marion Street, offers small plates, high-end cocktails, and lite-fare dinner. Additionally, the newly redesigned Preludepre-function and Aria Ballroom space located on the ninth floor will accommodate larger groups such as corporate events, weddings, and conferences. “We’re incredibly excited to see the Indiana Hotel Elkhart brought back to life.
