About the Latchis Hotel

Built by four brothers in honor of their father Demetrius, an immigrant from Greece, the Latchis Hotel’s Art Deco design was conceived with grandeur in mind to equal the architectural marvels of their father’s home country.

The Latchis’ Greek heritage puts a unique twist on the classic exterior of our building and differentiates us from other Art Deco hotels. The brothers commissioned murals of Greek deities by renowned artist Louis Jambour for our Main Theatre and installed statues throughout the terrazzo-floored interior. Today, Hebe, goddess of youth and cupbearer for Zeus, guards the entrance to our main theatre, blessing all who enter there.

Beginning in 1938, the Latchis Hotel began welcoming guests arriving on the train from the urban centers of New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. These visitors sought a rural retreat that could still provide them with the glamorous services they were accustomed to in the city. Needless to say, they found both luxury and the charms of the country at our hotel in Brattleboro – one of only two public Art Deco buildings still in use in the entire state of Vermont.

Front and center on the downtown stage, our hotel in Brattleboro is a superior walking destination.

Riverside hiking trails, gourmet food purveyors, unique performances, locally roasted coffee, artisanal shopping, and delectable Vermont cuisines are all just a few short strides to the right or left.

Whether you are a business traveler on a brief stopover, a family looking to stretch those legs, a cinephile coming for our in-house multi-screen cinema, a couple desiring a secret escape, or a solo traveler, a stay at the Latchis Hotel and Theatre in downtown Brattleboro will help you discover the grandeur of history that resides in the everyday.
