Avery Hotel / Hawkes Dairy Building

Varia Hospitality Group plans to incorporate the 1948 Hawkes Dairy Building at 11th Street and Lewis Avenue into a 100-room, full-service boutique hotel. The property is located catty-cornered from Mother Road Market.
The Avery Hotel, a Hilton Tapestry Collection property, is named after the "Father of Route 66," Cyrus Avery.

The Avery Hotel will be made up of two primary structures. The two-story Hawkes Dairy Building, which sits on the northeast corner of 11th Street and Lewis Avenue, will have a restaurant facing 11th Street, retail space and the hotel entrance on the first floor.
The second floor will have an approximately 3,600-square-foot meeting room and three smaller meeting spaces. Those looking for a little fun can head to the speakeasy in the basement, or to the bar on the rooftop.

The second structure, the new five-story hotel, will be built directly to the east and be connected to the Hawkes Dairy Building by an enclosed glass walkway. The L-shaped hotel will run along the north and east boundaries of the property, creating a courtyard space with a pool and lawn open to 11th Street.

"We've intentionally pulled it (the hotel building) back to be able to put the pool, maybe a DJ booth, out there so that it feels part of the street," said Josh Kunkel, co-founder of Method Group, the architecture firm designing the project. "So, all of that — the pool, lawn space — feels like it's part of the street, and it kind of draws you in."

Exciting, that building is currently a drag on an otherwise increasingly-vibrant area around 11th & Lewis.  Hopefully this spurs additional development toward TU.
