Historic Hotel Greenfield
Located just off Greenfield’s Historic Downtown District, this restored 1920’s hotel offers boutique lodging for 21st Century guests. With meeting facilities and 20 guest rooms and a guest suite, the hotel provides modern amenities amid original historic features.
A restored historic boutique hotel, Hotel Greenfield was built in 1919 and first opened its doors in 1920. It reopened in 2011. The lobby of the hotel is much as it was almost a century ago. The lobby tile, woodwork, front desk, brick, staircase, pocket doors, windows, and entrance are all original to the structure. Hotel Greenfield started out with 15 rooms per floor and one shared bath on each floor.
Rich with history and charm, Hotel Greenfield has been used for a handful of historic events including a bus stop for men going to World War II in the 1940s, an active barber shop in the 1950s and a family-owned Greek restaurant, The Olive Branch, still in business today.
A full-service patio now unites The Olive Branch and Hotel Greenfield, where the HG Lounge is open with a full-service bar and the friendly staff are eager to use their knowledge of the area to help you plan your trip.
