Hotel Metropolitan

The historic Hotel Metropolitan preserves African American heritage and culture. Opened in 1908 by Maggie Steed, it provided Black travelers accommodations during segregation, hosting icons like Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. Documented in the Green Book, it played a key role in Black arts and history. Guided tours, including an interactive Experience Tour, are by appointment only. A small venue that accommodates groups of 25 or less at a time, it is handicap accessible on the first floor.
