I’m excited to announce a major refresh coming this year to the distinctive hotels in our Historia Collection™. In partnership with Lendlease, every one of our historical properties will be getting upgrades to guest rooms and common areas.
Historia Collection consists of select IHG Army Hotels housed in buildings of great significance to the Army, their posts and the nation. Because of their unique architecture and historical importance, they differ from any other IHG hotel brand, however, they offer the same amenities and conveniences as the branded on-post properties.
The new upgrades include improved breakfast offerings* and a coffee and tea service station available 24 hours a day. Guest rooms feature rich appointments including luxurious bedding and linens, plush signature robes, a Keurig coffee maker, and high-end toiletries. Finally, some locations will have a new outdoor lounge experience featuring vintage elements with a modern twist for you to relax, work, or just enjoy the outdoors.
These enhancements will be available by this fall at most locations. We look forward to offering you an even higher level of comfort and convenience in our Historia Collection hotels as we continue to preserve the architectural history that makes each hotel so unique. While the properties have been renovated to provide all the modern conveniences our guests have come to expect, we’ve been careful to preserve the historic character of the buildings, going so far as to include fixtures and furnishings that complement the buildings’ original designs. We hope you consider visiting one of these historical buildings the next time you stay on-post:
- Wainwright Hall on Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall
- Yeomans Hall on Fort Knox
- Bronson Hall on Joint Base Lewis-McChord
- Washington Hall, Auburn Hall, and Pratt Hall on Carlisle Barracks
- Sam Houston & Foulois Houses on Joint Base San Antonio
- Otis Hall & Custer House on Fort Leavenworth
- Waters & Bacon Halls on Fort Riley
- Comanche House on Fort Sill
- Building 109/Beat Navy House on West Point
