The iconic Admiral Hotel Mobile in Alabama and the historic Hotel Alex Johnson Rapid City have joined Curio – A Collection by Hilton. Designed for travelers who seek authentic, locally rooted experiences, Curio features a curated selection of upscale and luxury properties that reflect the distinct culture and character of their communities.
Situated in the heart of downtown Rapid City near Main Street Square, Hotel Alex Johnson Rapid City combines a prime location with historic charm to deliver an authentic stay. Built in 1928, this boutique upscale hotel offers 143 guestrooms and suites and showcases regional art alongside design elements inspired by the late 1920s. Guests benefit from easy access to award-winning restaurants, varied shopping, and nearby entertainment venues, making it an excellent base for exploring the area.
Set within Mobile’s historic business, entertainment, and cultural district, The Admiral Hotel Mobile is scheduled to reopen this fall as The Admiral Hotel Mobile, Curio Collection by Hilton after a multimillion-dollar renovation. Since opening in 1940, the hotel has been notable for being the first building in Mobile to feature air conditioning and originally housed a cocktail lounge, coffee shop, drug store, and a National Airlines office. The renovation includes a full redesign of the 155 guestrooms and suites, refreshed lobby and public spaces, updated restaurants, and 6,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space.
Both hotels expand Curio’s global portfolio, joining a collection that includes 50 properties and approximately 13,000 rooms either open or in development worldwide.
