Check in to the past. Toast to the future!
Originally built in 1904 as the very first library in Saint Joseph—with funds donated by Andrew Carnegie—this landmark has been thoughtfully transformed into a boutique hotel that honors its past while embracing the present.
The building’s timeless architecture stands proudly in the heart of downtown, just steps from the beach. Inside, every detail reflects the spirit of a city known for its culture, community, and lakeshore charm.
I have long admired the original St. Joseph library. We are very excited to see it being preserved. Looking forward to celebrating it's Grand Opening!

Every time I walk by, I imagine what it will be like to stay there-suroounded by history, art and the stories of the building's past. It's the kind of place that makes you fall in love with the town all over again

There's nothing else like it- a place that feels both historic and new at the same time, and I can't wait to see it finished!
