SELMA, Ala. (WSFA) - Itâs been a journey, but the historic St. James Hotel in Selma has reopened.
Rhaglan Hospitality took ownership of the hotel nearly two years ago, and Tuesday the company held a ribbon cutting.
The hotel, which has been around since 1837, has been through several owners. Two years ago the city of Selma sold it to Rhaglan Hospitality out of Birmingham for about $300,00.
Rhaglan Hospitality spent in the neighborhood of $5 million renovating and cleaning up the property, including adding a new staircase. There are 55 rooms and a spectacular view of the Alabama River.
