Hotel De Ville

Welcome to Hotel De Ville!!

Some places don’t need to be reinvented.

They just need to be reenergized.

Hotel De Ville has always been one of those places.

Set along the river, it has quietly held its character — in the light that fills the rooms, in the stillness of the mornings, in the feeling that time slows down just enough when you arrive.

We’ve spent time here listening, observing, and understanding what makes it special.

Our intention is simple:

to preserve what’s already here, and thoughtfully build on it.

In September 2026, Hotel De Ville will reopen alongside The Empire Room — a space for evenings, for conversation, for good food and drink, and for staying a little longer than you planned.

Together, they are meant to feel like one experience.

From the moment you arrive, to the moment you leave.

We’re not rushing this.

Every detail matters.

We look forward to welcoming you soon.

The Rooms of the Grand

Each of the seven deluxe hotel rooms in the Grand offer WiFi and cable TV for those who need to keep up or unwind. All have ceramic or marble bathrooms and luxury linens. All have at least a Queen size mattress and river views. Our elegant hotel rooms are in the oldest full brick building in Alma and are generally decorated to reflect the periods of the buildings history. The Lincoln bedroom is so named as Abraham Lincoln was President when the building was built and is in the Federal Style while the Napoleon Room reflects the French flair of the hotel. There are over 1400 pieces of crystal on the Art Nouveau or Empire style chandeliers throughout the hotel. Up an 1881 vintage spiral staircase you will find the Art Nouveau Room, the Art Deco Room, the Grand Budapest Room, and the Shire Room (which is Arts and Crafts in its overall design) reflect interior styles popular in the buildings long heyday. You will feel the history of the design while you will love the modern comforts we have added for you. All hotel rooms have access to the side deck over a portico with views of the patio garden boasting almost 200 varieties of Hosta. The Mississippi River can be seen in the distance over the daylily garden in the front lawn of the Hotel de Ville across Main Street.
