Hello Tuesday.
April 16 2024
If you have been downtown at all in the last 2 years, you’ve probably noticed the construction of the Grand Bohemian Hotel looking over Falls Park and the Reedy River. While the hotel isn’t finished yet, we put on our hard hats (literally) + got to take a sneak peek at the progress.

The hotel, which is currently tentatively scheduled to open in March of 2022, will feature:
- 8 stories
- 187 guest rooms
- A restaurant, Falls Point Grille, and bourbon bar, Falls Point Bar
- An art gallery, wine room, library, and spa
All of which (minus the guest rooms, obviously) will also be open to the public.

What else will make the hotel feel fab? All of the art work. Various pieces of art will be displayed all throughout the hotel, not just in the art gallery. And being lovers of crystals + fancy rocks, we were also excited to see some of the beautiful crystal geodes that will be on display in the hotel.
It’s hard to get the full scope now, but these views will be some of the best in town when the hotel is finished | Photo by the GVLtoday team
Certain guest room terraces and the hotel’s restaurant will offer stunning views of the falls and the Reedy River, and we certainly can’t wait to have dinner and a drink here. 🥂
