DULUTH – Visitors will soon be able to sleep in the former council chambers when a 13-room boutique hotel opens this summer in Duluth s historic Old City Hall. We are designing the space to bring the stories of Duluth to life in a big bold way, owner Rod Raymond said in a news release. The interior design blends the glamour of the Roaring 20s with bright contemporary art, against a Romanesque backdrop, telling a new story of vibrancy and abundance for the future of Duluth.
The 13-room hotel is expected to open early this summer.

A portion of Duluth s Old City Hall will be turned into a downtown boutique hotel.
Rod Raymond is converting part of the building into a 13-room hotel that includes four hostel rooms and a Scandinavian-designed sauna, according to a news release from Raymond.
The hotel will be named in the coming weeks and is expected to open early this summer.
The building served as City Hall from 1888 to 1929 and is located at 132 East Superior Street. The building is home to three businesses: Wasabi restaurant, Evolve Duluth yoga studio and The Rathskeller, all of which will remain.
New group s pitch invites ideas.

We with the Citizens for Integration of Highway and Environment, the group that helped lead the construction of Interstate 35 through downtown Duluth, saw that a new conversation about possible downtown highway improvements has been started, led by a group called the Duluth Waterfront Collective (“Group envisions downtown parkway,” June 7).
The area being considered by the group for a parkway and development is the area that had been set aside in the 1980s for a future shopping center to be built over the freeway, which a developer was interested in at the time.
