Hotel Elysium

About

A National Park Service historic building, built in 1938 and rooted in community, is being remastered as a modern boutique hotel in Ely, Minnesota. The downtown landmark is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and begins a new chapter as the Hotel Elysium.

The building’s architectural detailing reflects the Public Works Administration Moderne style of the Art Deco period. Its strictly symmetrical front façade, smooth stone surfaces, and use of glass block speak to the era’s emphasis on progress and civic pride. Low-relief sculptural panels featuring stylized figures further define the structure’s character, making it a lasting architectural landmark in downtown Ely.

In early 2027, the building enters a new chapter as Hotel Elysium. Thoughtfully restored and remastered, the hotel preserves its architectural and historical significance while offering a modern interpretation of comfort, design, and hospitality.The spirit of gathering remains unchanged — only the experience has evolved.
