ALPAINE, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) – Byways Hospitality announced it has secured funding to begin the restoration of three historic Big Bend hotels. The Holland and Maverick Hotels in Alpine and the Limpia Hotel in Davisburg are included in the restoration budget, according to a news release from the company.
The financing, arranged by Peachtree Group and Opportunity Alabama, marks the beginning of the next phase of restoring the hotels. However, the process took longer than initially expected. Byways expressed gratitude to the Alpine and Davisburg communities for their patience along the way.
“These hotels have always been more than just a place to stay,” said Collin Bibb, co-founder of Byways Hospitality. “It’s where neighbors gather for drinks or meals, and where town life quietly passes through the halls day after day. “
Next steps will focus on carefully restoring the properties while preserving the hotel’s rich history.
Historically known as the “Living Room of the Alps”, the Hotel Holland plays an important role in the life and history of the town.
“These are special buildings in special towns,” said Brian Carrico, co-founder of Byways Hospitality. “Our goal is to thoughtfully restore them and return them to their rightful place in the community.”
The company believes historic hotels can play an important role in the long-term vitality of towns in the Big Bend area.
“A great hotel gives travelers a reason to stay and a town a place to connect,” Carrico said. “Alpine and Fort Davis have a remarkable history and strong communities, and we’re excited to invest in a place that helps advance that goal.”
We are told that the road to construction reflects the complexity of the restoration. “It took a while to get here,” Bibb said. “But West Texas has always been a place that rewards patience and the die-hard. We’re excited to finally get to the real work.”
Construction is expected to begin soon. Restoration work will be carried out in phases so that the hotel can be as open to guests as possible during the construction period.
Byways Hospitality is a Texas-based real estate investment and development company specializing in the restoration of historic hotel properties.
