Hotel de Ville opened in 2006 after years of restoration work on several historic Alma structures. The property grew from a single ice cream shop into a full boutique hotel with three gardens, on-site dining, and a curiosity shop. Its buildings date back as far as the 1860s, tying the hotel directly to Alma's river and railroad history.

The People Behind the Restoration

Jeff Shilts and Dan Kordiak came to Alma in 2005, drawn by Fire & Ice, and purchased the building that became our hotel. Jeff described those years running the hotel and coffee shop as the happiest of his life. Dan later took over daily operations and continued building and designing much of the property himself.
