The Alex Johnson Hotel, located in the heart of downtown Rapid City, has enjoyed a long and colorful past. Built in 1927 by Norwegian immigrant Alex Johnson, it quickly became one of the most popular hotels in town. Over the years, many famous people have stayed at the hotel, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt and legendary actor John Wayne.
The hotel is also known for its classic architecture with ornate marble floors, wood carvings, cathedral ceilings, and grand staircases. It was designed to reflect the Tudor Revival style, with carved sculptures adorning the walls and stained-glass windows.
The original lobby still stands today, complete with its original cherrywood paneling, copper ceiling tiles, and etched mirrors. |

It is still a popular destination for visitors and locals alike who come to admire its architecture, enjoy its restaurants and bars, or take in some of its history. Whether you come to stay the night or visit for an afternoon, the Alex Johnson Hotel is sure to provide an unforgettable experience.
