Hotel Carmichael, which opened in 2022, is a boutique hotel inspired by the life and legacy of Carmel-born jazz musician Hoagy Carmichael. The hotel’s design incorporates Art Deco influences reflective of the 1930s and 40s – the era in which Hoagy Carmichael rose to prominence. It features 122 guest rooms, a restaurant named after one of Carmichael’s famous compositions (“Lullaby of Broadway”), and a performance venue intended to honor his musical contributions. The hotel aims to be a cultural hub for the city, hosting various events including live music performances. The building itself is part of a larger mixed-use development called City Center in Carmel.
