Richardson Hotel - Hotel Rooms
2024 interior photos


Hotel Henry was established in 2017. In 2020, due to the stress of the global COVID-19 pandemic, Hotel Henry closed.

In 2021, the hotel was leased from the nonprofit Richardson Center Corporation by the [Douglas Jamal] Douglas Development Corporation. In March 2023 the hotel reopened with a new name:
the Richardson Hotel. The hotel has a total of 88 rooms.
 
 The hotel buildings include the center tower building, two connecting corridors, and two flanking pavilions. [The remaining buildings await restoration and development.]



“Essentially, after removing the drop-tin ceiling, it was revealed that the roof of Building 12 was a vaulted ceiling. Holding everything together are two very large wooden beams. They required emergency work since they were extremely brittle.

“The ones in the hotel are on the 4th floor, which is specifically for suites!”

The original patient rooms were paired off and combined into one hotel room.  A bathroom bump-out was added to each hotel room.
