Hotel Alex Johnson Rapid City, Curio Collection by Hilton
South Dakota
Built in 1927, Hotel Alex Johnson occupies a prominent place in downtown Rapid City. Now part of Hilton’s Curio Collection, it combines historic architecture with handcrafted Native American art that pays tribute to Lakota and Sioux culture. Its central setting makes the hotel a base for exploring Rapid City as well as the wider Black Hills. Refreshed accommodation retains a connection to the building’s history, rather than treating the property simply as a modern chain address. Juniper at Vertex Sky Bar brings local cooking and cocktails to the rooftop. An Irish pub offers a different atmosphere, while a salon and spa add facilities beyond the guest rooms. For travellers interested in architecture and the city’s historic centre, the building provides a distinctive starting point.
