Curio By Hilton Hotels Coming To Downtown Huntsville!

(Historic downtown property to be redeveloped as Downtown Huntsville’s first boutique hotel: 106 Jefferson.)

Crunkleton Commercial Real Estate is proud to announce that historic 106 Jefferson Street is being redeveloped to house Downtown Huntsville’s first full-service boutique hotel. The former Hale Brother’s Furniture site will soon be the location of 106 Jefferson Hotel, A Curio Collection by Hilton. An upscale soft brand within Hilton’s portfolio, Curio currently has more than 50 unique hotels throughout six continents. Construction for 106 Jefferson is slated to begin in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Situated one block from the city square, 106 Jefferson will be in the center of downtown’s business, retail and entertainment districts. Guests will have immediate access to Huntsville highlights such as The Garage at Clinton Row retail center, The Avenue shops, Big Spring Park, CityCentre at Big Spring, Von Braun Civic Center, the Huntsville Museum of Art and much more. 106 Jefferson will be the third Curio hotel to enter the Alabama market with existing locations in Birmingham and Mobile.

“Expanding the Curio collection to Huntsville will not only fill a void for upscale accommodations but also offer a venue for corporate events and conferences, elegant dining and social gatherings,” said Wesley Crunkleton, principal at Crunkleton Commercial Real Estate and co-developer of 106 Jefferson. “Its strategic location makes it the ideal destination for travelers who are looking for an authentic Huntsville experience with easy access to downtown hot spots. We look forward to bringing new life to this historic property and creating an exceptional getaway.”

The proposed hotel will be a convenient option for both leisure travelers and business professionals. 106 Jefferson’s six-story downtown location will feature 117 guests rooms, a full-service restaurant, best-in-class amenities, meeting rooms and rooftop bar on the 7^th floor.

“106 Jefferson will introduce an unmatched level of service, quality and luxury to the market while delivering a one-of-a-kind experience for visitors,“ said McLean Wilson, principal at Kemmons Wilson Companies and co-developer of 106 Jefferson. “We are thrilled to offer our skills and hospitality experience to Huntsville for this exciting project.”

Redevelopment of the historic property will utilize an experienced team of collaborators led by Crunkleton Commercial Real Estate and Kemmons Wilson Companies as co-developers. Memphis-based Bounds & Gillespie will serve as architects for the development, and the award-winning Valor Hospitality Partners, whose expertise has been recognized by Condé Nast Traveler and other key players in the tourism industry, will handle management of the new hotel.
