About Us
Hotel Alum- Classically Rooted, Creatively Reimagined
Where Legacy Meets Hospitality
Welcome to Hotel Alum — a one-of-a-kind boutique hotel housed in the heart of Walhalla’s beloved former high school. More than just a place to stay, Hotel Alum is a creative, historic restoration project designed to preserve the soul of the past while offering an elevated, modern experience for today’s traveler.
Every hallway whispers stories. Every classroom-turned-guestroom invites you to rest, reflect, and reconnect. Whether you're a returning alum, a curious traveler, or a lover of historic architecture, you'll feel something special the moment you walk through our doors.
Hotel Alum offers 33 thoughtfully designed rooms, a restaurant that celebrates local flavors, a cozy teacher's lounge (cocktail bar) and gathering spaces perfect for community events, retreats, and reunions.
But we’re more than brick and mortar — we’re a movement to revive small towns, spark local pride, and anchor new energy into downtown Walhalla. We believe in the power of history, the beauty of community, and the magic that happens when creativity and purpose meet.
Come stay, celebrate, or simply be inspired.
