A Florida developer plans to revive the Winecoff Hotel, site of a 1946 fire in which 119 people died. The new hotel, which will retain the Winecoff name, is to open in 2002. Kelco owns the building but has yet to obtain financing in a market of tight funds for such development.
Boutique hotels are typically trendy, smaller alternatives to chains.
Hotel Winecoff will have 4,000 feet of meeting space, a restaurant and a lounge. City officials had said they could not enforce the code. The fire was ruled an accident, and no arrests were ever made. The Macon Telegraph. The information you receive online from The Macon Telegraph is protected by the copyright laws of the United States.
