ELMS HOTEL
Complete renovation and historic restoration of designated areas in a five-story stone and heavy timber hotel resort and spa.
The current Elms Hotel was built by the Elms Realty Company of native stone and heavy timber opened in 1912 after fires destroyed previous locations in 1898 and 1910. The Elms Hotel remains to testify, not only to the extravagant tastes expressed by resort architecture in the Victorian age, but also to the premier role held by the town of Excelsior Springs as a popular health resort. The Elms Hotel, designed by Kansas City architects Jackson and McIlvain in the Tudor Revival style, reflects the innovations and standards of comfort
that were incorporated into all "firstclass" hotels of the period.
In 1998 SWD produced construction documents for a complete renovation and historic restoration of 153 guestrooms and designated areas within the five story hotel.
