”Hotel Alex Johnson combines an ideal location with a historic
setting for an authentic guest experience, and has also hosted six
U.S. presidents and numerous celebrities and dignitaries,” said
Dianna Vaughan, global head, Curio – A Collection by Hilton. “With
its location just steps from the popular Art Alley – an iconic
tribute to local artists and their creativity – and just a short
drive from Mount Rushmore and all the iconic Black Hills have to
offer, this beautiful hotel makes a perfect addition as the first
Midwest property in our growing global collection of remarkable
upscale and luxury hotels.”
Hotel Alex Johnson is a distinct hotel exuding modern flare,
while at the same time paying tribute to the unique history of the
region. Built in 1928, this boutique upscale hotel combines the
ambiance of the late 1920s with regional art. This includes
carefully-restored bricks in the lobby and hand-painted Sioux
designs and ‘four sacred directions’ symbols, a tribute to the
area’s Native American culture and beliefs.
Guests can relax in one of 143 spacious guest rooms that include
vibrant views of Main Street Square and a vibrant outdoor
entertainment venue. Built by railroad magnate Alex Johnson, the
hotel is reflective of Johnson’s German heritage and love of the
Sioux culture. Guest rooms combine modern conveniences with
historic charm, including complimentary WiFi, 42-inch flat-screen
TVs, luxurious and plush linens and coffeemakers. Additional
highlights include a newly-renovated 24-hour fitness center with
Life Fitness Equipment, as well as an ideal location just two
blocks away from Founder’s Park offering access to more than 10
miles of running and hiking trails.
"Our storied history and setting in the heart of downtown Rapid
City – along with the reassurance that comes with the iconic Hilton
name – will truly set us apart from other offerings in the market,"
said Caleb Arceneaux, CEO, Liv Hospitality, LLC. "During their stay
at Hotel Alex Johnson, our guests will not only experience the
tremendous pride and passion our talented team has for our city,
