Hotel On Phillips was originally built as the Sioux Falls National Bank in 1918 and it continued to operate as a bank over the years along with various office spaces situated on floors three through nine. At the time it was built, it was the tallest building in South Dakota. One hundred years later, in 2018, Hotel On Phillips began its restoration and transformation into an upscale chic boutique hotel featuring 90 unique and elegant guest rooms along with many luxury suites.
The hotel lobby portrays historical charm and grace. When stepping into the lobby, you are taken back to the era of the early 1900's with its original historical designs. The lobby boasts high fluted columns and houses its original chandeliers. The beautifully designed dentil tray ceilings feature rosettes and Greek Key design. Centered in the lobby as its main focal point, stands the original Bank Vault with its 16-ton door and 24-3 inch bolts. The Bank Vault has been opened up and transformed as the walk-through entrance into the lounge – The Treasury. This bank vault is lined with Vanadium Steel along with additional safes inside the vault. Our lounge, The Treasury, is graced with tall columns, a grand chandelier and an original Terazzo Floor.
The Mezzanine overlooking the lobby, showcases replicated Skylights, seating areas, a business center, a fitness center, Josiah's Library, and Hattie's Parlour.
