The Eola Hotel
Natchez, Mississippi
The Eola Hotel was built in 1927 for the Natchez Investment Corporation under the leadership of Leon M. Levy and Isidore Levy, for whose daughter the hotel was named. The New Orleans architectural firm of Weiss, Dreyfous and Seiferth designed the building which was built by New Orleans contactors J. V. and R. T. Burkes. At a height of seven stories, the hotel towers over downtown Natchez where most of the commercial buildings are two stories tall.
The Eola closed for the first time in 1974, and for almost a decade the hotel stood as a monument to a deteriorating historic downtown. It reopened in 1982 after a major renovation designed by Perez and Associates of New Orleans with Charles Moore, a leader in the post-modern movement, serving as consulting architect. The renovated Eola Hotel played a very important role in the revitalization of historic downtown Natchez, but the hotel closed again in late 2014.
The Eola is once again poised for rebirth with plans for a multimillion dollar restoration that will make it once again the crown jewel of downtown Natchez. The development team plans to utilize Federal and State Rehabilitation Tax Credits as part of their capital stack.
