The Willis Park Hotel

The Willis Park Hotel The region’s first of its kind. A truly boutique hotel. Each suite a uniquely styled experience. The Willis Park Hotel is the first of it's kind regionally.

A truly boutique hotel, with six carefully styled rooms each offering a uniquely different experience. This historic space sits directly on the Historic Town Square in Downtown Bainbridge. A balcony was constructed where guests can enjoy the best views of Willis Park. Prior to being developed, this historic property sat vacant since the 1950s and was most recently used as an insurance office. Owne

rs, Tyler and Heather Thomas toured and fell in love with the property in 2018. They could see the potential and gorgeous features that needed to be revived and shared with the public. The couple then spent the next three years creating this concept from scratch. Carefully implemented design elements such as a one-hundred year old stain glass window salvaged from a church in Alabama, historic stained glass doors from France made in 1903, skylights, a reading nook, a custom architectural double spiral staircase with catwalk, Gemsboks, and more have been added to bring something new, fresh, and cosmopolitan to this rural region. The Thomases agree that service is as important as comfort and atmosphere. Coordinating room service with local restaurants, private gym, and other amenities are offered to guests. Due to the influx of industry in Bainbridge, a private boardroom is also available for executive meetings. The Willis Park Hotel is home to Cafe Sinclair, located on the second floor, it offers private events on the balcony. Cafe Sinclair is only available for guests & Private parties, as it's a great gathering place!

😍LOVE IS IN THE AIR at the Willis Park Hotel!😍

Spring Wedding season is in full swing! It's the BEST part of the business- to share the joy of the event & help make it an experience to remember!

It's a subject near & dear to me as hubby & I celebrate 40 years since the day we met!

Reserving all 6 rooms for your group is a completely unique experience of having the building to yourselves!

A New Chapter for The Willis Park Hotel

After thoughtful consideration and mutual agreement, Chrissy Kay has transitioned out of ownership, and I'm honored to continue the Willis Park Hotel journey as sole owner alongside my husband.

This isn't just about providing rooms—it's about fostering camaraderie that builds lasting relationships — empowering our neighbors to thrive together, for lasting change.

Our vision is to create affordable housing while building genuine community connections through grassroots, integrated self-support programs.

We're excited for what's ahead and grateful for your continued support as we grow this mission.
