A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

High on the banks of a once-bustling river port, The Former House at long last rises from half a century of slumber.

A first look inside

Formerly famous.
Properly peculiar.

Once a beloved haunt for socialites, artists, and adventurers of the late 1800s, the Former House, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, will soon open its doors to a new cast of characters. Be among the first to walk the halls of the hotelโ€™s storied past, opening Summer 2027.

A remarkable sort of spot.

With winding corridors, peculiar portraits and architectural elements dating back to the late 1800s, The Former House transports guests to a place thatโ€™s decidedly newโ€”and oddly familiar. Read where famed writers wrote, dine where ladies lunched, and sleep where songsters crooned into the misty hours of the morning. Here, within these storied walls, anything is possible, because everything has happened.

Pull up a stool. Stay a while.

Beneath a coffered ceiling and a row of glowing globe pendants, an arched, softly lit backbar anchors a room of rich paneling, period portraits and checkerboard floorsโ€”made for long evenings and longer stories.
