KALAMAZOO, MI-- A new six-story hotel opened Monday, Nov. 30, inside the historic Rose Street Market building in downtown Kalamazoo. This week, the Hilton Garden Inn opened the first of three phases of the project, which is set to be completed next year.
In phase one, 54 rooms are available for booking. An additional 60 rooms will be opened in February as part of a second phase, and a third and final phase will bring 106 additional rooms in May, as home suites for extended-stay guests.
Plaza Corp, the city of Kalamazoo and Indiana-based hotel developer Dora Hotel Co. partnered on the restoration project.
The building was originally built from 1913-1915 by famed architectural firm Spier & Rohns, and the structure was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
Prior to its time as Rose Street Market, the structure served for nearly five decades as a Masonic temple, and also as a U.S. Army induction center during World War II.

In partnership with Heritage Guitars, a local guitar-maker formed by former employees of the iconic Gibson guitar factory in Kalamazoo, the Hilton property’s artwork features guitars and scenes from the factory.
A hotel of similar size and scale is planned for the Heritage Guitar factory property in 2022, director of sales and marketing Kara Kearns said.
Hilton staff were able to tour the Kalamazoo factory and photos from that tour were commissioned to create the artwork that appears in each room, General Manager Chris Bebee said.
