Revitalizing a Historic Landmark

Built in 1909, the Union Pacific Railroad Station was a key transportation hub, later falling into underuse. Now, through a thoughtful adaptive reuse project, it has been transformed into Asher Adams, a luxury hotel preserving 44,000 square feet of historic space, including the Grand Hall and south wing.

​

A Thoughtful Transformation

• 225 guestrooms, including 13 suites in the historic structure

• Four food and beverage outlets and 8,400 square feet of meeting space

• Restored murals, stained-glass windows, and moldings

• A modern eight-story addition complementing the station’s Second French Empire design
