The Albion Hotel re-opening set for next month

Bayfield’s historic hotel has announced the date for its grand re-opening.

The Albion Hotel's roof collapsed overnight on December 7, 2024, after a heavy snowfall.

Now, after eight months of extensive renovations, trying to preserve as much of the original hotel as possible, owners said they’re ready to reopen its doors on Saturday, September 27.

More details on the grand reopening will be announced soon.

It’s sure to draw a ton of support from the Bayfield community. A GoFundMe campaign launched last year to support the staff raised over $80,000.
