Taking up Bryan's affinity for authentic places and legendary stories, The LaSalle's reimagining is a nod to the influence of the railroad in establishing the city as the epicenter of Texas' five major metropolitan areas, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. Boutique hotel intimacy and rich, roaring 20's styling immediately let guests know they've found a place like none other. Dining car decor in the hotel's lobby-level restaurant Station 36, a covered, outdoor event space called The Platform, and the hotel's subterranean speakeasy, the Boiler Room, seal the deal.

"The LaSalle opened as a theater, was used to treat returning Civil War soldiers and when that was no longer needed, legend has it that the building was sold for 2500 gold coins, becoming a hotel in 1928, during the golden age of railroad travel." Buffam continued. "The people who've passed through these doors, and the stories that brought them here, spark the imagination and create connections to our shared past in a unique and inviting way."

Recognized by Forbes as the "Best Small Place" for education, business, and careers, the City of Bryan supported the project with municipal incentives and historic tax credits.

The LaSalle features 55 guest rooms, Station 36 serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, The Boiler Room speakeasy, and indoor/outdoor accommodations for groups. For reservations or information on buyouts, please contact Cameron Collazo,
