Hotel Vandivort

Restoring and repurposing a 100-year-old landmark into a boutique hotel.

Hotel Vandivort is the first centrally-located boutique hotel in downtown Springfield, Missouri. Phase One included repurposing a former Masonic Temple structure into a boutique hotel. In Phase Two, the client asked LJC to expand the hotel with a new four-story building adjacent to the original Hotel Vandivort to accommodate 48 additional guest rooms, 15 of which are suites.

The crown jewel of Phase Two is the Vantage Rooftop Lounge and Conservatory, a 2,600 SF, 4-season food and beverage restaurant and bar that offers 180-degree views of downtown Springfield. Inside, Art Deco meets modern design using dark woods, brass accents, diamond-shaped wall sconces, black and white flooring, and pops of color with vibrant emerald green plush chairs. The expansive skylight and large windows showcase unobstructed views so patrons can enjoy the naturally illuminated space year-round. The result brings well-curated décor and ambiance to one of Springfield’s newest hot spots.
