On Friday, Chip and Joanna Gaines gave their fans an exciting first look at their newest venture. The famous couple has been hard at work converting a historic building in Waco, Texas—where they call home—into a boutique hotel named “Hotel 1928.”
This ambitious project is the result of a collaboration with Adventurous Journeys Capital Partners, as detailed in a press release from Magnolia that was shared with Insider.
Chip and Joanna Documented the Hotel Renovation in Their New Show
To capture the extensive renovation process, Chip and Joanna Gaines have launched a new series on their Magnolia Network called “Fixer Upper: The Hotel.” This show takes viewers behind the scenes as they transform this century-old structure into what will become “Hotel 1928.”
The limited series will consist of six episodes, each lasting half an hour. It is set to premiere on November 8th across multiple platforms including Magnolia Network, MAX, and Discovery+, according to an official statement from Magnolia.
The hotel itself is quite expansive, covering 50,000 square feet over three floors. Within this space are 33 uniquely designed rooms that each offer something special for guests.
In addition to its accommodations, the hotel also features a large library and versatile event space that add to its overall appeal.
As mentioned on the hotel’s website, there are four different room styles available for booking. Prices vary depending on when you plan your stay; as of Friday’s update, rates start at $405 per night.
Located right in downtown Waco’s bustling center, Hotel 1928 offers more than just comfortable rooms. Guests can enjoy three distinct dining options: Berties—a rooftop restaurant; The Brasserie—a bar and restaurant; and a cozy café where visitors can indulge in various culinary experiences during their stay.
In the trailer for the show’s upcoming season, Chip described this renovation as “the largest and most complex project we’ve ever undertaken.”
Expanding Their Footprint in Waco
Chip and Joanna’s latest endeavor further solidifies their already significant presence in Waco—a journey they began long before becoming household names through HGTV’s “Fixer Upper.”
Conveniently located within walking distance from their popular Silos shopping complex—which includes attractions like Magnolia Market and Magnolia Home—the hotel adds another layer to what has become somewhat of an empire for them in Waco.
Just minutes away by car are other notable properties owned by the Gaineses such as Magnolia Table (their well-known restaurant), Little Shop on Bosque (their original store), along with an intricately renovated castle featured prominently on one of Magnolia’s TV shows.
Earlier this year in July after allowing fans exclusive tours inside it—the couple held an auction for this castle property which had garnered much attention over time due largely because it was showcased extensively through one of their television programs underlining how deeply rooted these ventures have become within local culture here too!
