Hotel 1928

Storied downtown refuge.
Hotel 1928 occupies the restored 1928 Grand Karem Shrine Building in downtown Waco. Moorish-inspired architecture, preserved historic details, three dining concepts, and a rooftop terrace bring a contemporary spirit to this storied landmark.
Insider Tip

Discover the two-story library, transformed from the historic building’s former coal-storage room. Wraparound staircases, book-lined walls, and inviting seating create a quiet retreat within the city.

Where You’re Staying

The 33 guest rooms blend historic character with modern comforts. Franklin Rooms offer one king-sized bed or two queen-sized beds, while Austin Rooms provide more space. The Ellsworth features historic keyhole windows and a preserved walk-in vault. The Columbus adds a fireplace and soaking tub, while the Washington accommodates up to 12 guests.

Where to Dine

The Brasserie serves Southern classics with a Texas twist in a warm setting. The Café offers coffee, baked goods, and light bites throughout the day, while Bertie’s on the Rooftop presents seasonal dishes and a cocktail alongside downtown views.

Where to Relax

Settle into a wingback chair or Chesterfield sofa within the book-lined library. The rooftop terrace offers another place to unwind while taking in sweeping views of downtown Waco.

What to Do

Walk to Magnolia Market at the Silos, visit the Dr Pepper Museum, or explore the cultural and culinary attractions of downtown Waco. Return to the hotel for an evening meal overlooking the city at Bertie’s on the Rooftop.
