Charlestowne Hotels has detailed its upcoming development pipeline spanning the Midwest, Southeast and Mountain West, with multiple projects scheduled through 2028.
The pipeline includes a boutique hotel in Milwaukee, Wis.; a staffless hospitality concept in Florida; and an adaptive reuse property in Santa Fe, N.M. The company is also expanding its soft-branded portfolio with two Marriott Tribute Portfolio hotels scheduled to open over the next two years.
“This pipeline represents a very deliberate evolution of Charlestowne Hotels,” said Kyle Hughey, CEO of Charlestowne Hotels. “We are partnering with owners who share our belief that hotels should be deeply rooted in their communities, shaped by design and story, and built with amenities and offerings for long-term relevance. Each of these projects reflects where we see the future of independent and experience-driven hospitality.”
Charlestowne Hotels has eight development projects underway in 2026, including Hotel Flora in Santa Fe, N.M., which is set to open in July 2026 with 27 rooms. Hotel Laureum in Milwaukee, Wis., will follow in June 2027 as a 35-room hotel in a historic former University Club building.
Within the Tribute Portfolio, Hotel Madelon in Starkville, Miss., is scheduled for July 2027 as a 122-room hotel tied to Mississippi State University. The Rumor Hotel in Ogden, Utah, a 92-room property, is expected to open in October 2027 as part of a mixed-use development.
Independent projects include The Inn at Aspen in Aspen, Colo., relaunched in January 2026 following renovations and The Livery Guesthouse in Tarpon Springs, Fla., an eight-room property opening in April 2026 with a staffless model. A 50-room hotel in Charleston, S.C., is planned for Fall 2028.
A mixed-use project, Jubilee in Johns Island, S.C., is scheduled for 2028 and will include a 140-room development combining hotel, rental cottages and commercial space.
“Charlestowne has built its reputation managing distinctive independent hotels and this next phase further expands that expertise into a broader mix of development partnerships, soft-branded hotels, and experience-driven destinations across the country,” added Hughey. “Together, these developments showcase the breadth of our growing portfolio and the new approaches we’re taking across different hotel types. Each project demonstrates our ability to combine market expertise with innovative operational models that deliver results for owners and memorable experiences for guests.”
