100-Year-Old Charlotte Office Tower Converting to Hotel
KHP Capital Partners plans to convert the historic Johnston Building into a 245-room hotel. To be called The Beckwith Hotel, the 100-year-old, 17-story office tower at 212 S. Tryon St. will be gutted and whats renovated will be designed by Gensler.
The Charlotte Business Journal reports that KHP acquired the building from Spaulding & Slye Investments in May for $19.3 million.
The conversion plans for the building include hotel rooms, a ground-floor restaurant and coffee shop, a 10,000-square-foot meeting room, a 3,500-square-foot ballroom and a rooftop bar.
KHP plans to take advantage of any tax credits due to the building’s historic designation. The project is expected to be delivered in the summer of 2026.
Built in 1924, it was the tallest building in Charlotte when it opened.
