History

The Redmont was built in 1925 as a 250 room hotel to plans by architect G. Lloyd Preacher. It was unusual at its time for having a private bath attached to every room as well as chilled water and ceiling fans. The penthouse was added in 1947.

A major renovation took place in 1985, and another refurbishement in 2000.

The Redmont hosts a weekly rooftop jazz concert in the summer.
