Tygart Hotel and Oxley Restaurant

Mills Group was hired by the Woodlands Development Group to design a sensitive rehabilitation of the Historic Tygart Hotel in Elkins, WV. Our design of the 56-room boutique hotel maintained the historic integrity of the building while adapting it to a modern use. The design included a full restaurant and bar on the first floor, now named the Oxley House, and a banquet room that will lead out to a balcony on the second floor. The renovated hotel will stimulate Elkins’ economy and reinvigorate the downtown area. This project took advantage of Historic Tax Credit and New Market Tax Credit programs administered by the State and Federal Governments.

The interior design preserved iconic elements from the original construction and pay homage to the local industries, history, and artisans. All of the art found inside the hotel is from local artisans. The modern, comfortable rooms highlight the culture of not only Elkins but the region as well. Queen, Double Queen, King, and King Suites are now available in addition to the public spaces of the restaurant, lobby, and meeting rooms.

The Tygart Hotel is a Choice, Ascend Collection hotel that had its grand opening in March 2024. For more information, see their website: HOME - Tygart Hotel | Elkins, West Virginia Boutique Lodging
