In Bowling Green, KY, the iconic Southern Queen Hotel is about to get a new lease of life. The property, along with two adjacent houses, has been sold to local real estate firm Bell Vue Properties. Spearheaded by eminent real-estate agent Desmond Bell, known for transforming Bellevue Heights years ago, the revitalization of this historic establishment is now expected.
The Southern Queen Hotel, owned by the Moses Covington family, is an integral part of Bowling Green’s history. The new owners are humbly stepping into this responsibility, with the aspiration to rejuvenate this grand edifice while retaining its historical charm. Bell has commended the foresight of the Moses family in establishing such an extraordinary property back in 1906. Now, more than a century later, he is eager to relaunch the hotel, allowing younger generations to connect with this important aspect of local history.
The hotel renovation and revitalization project envisages not just the refurbishment of the old structure, but also the addition of new amenities like a Shake Rag’s Southern Queen Gallery in the main floor parlor. In Bell’s words, this is a chance to “uphold the legacy that the Moses Covington family started and to put it in a position that they could go on for another 100 years.”
With this fresh infusion of ideas, the project is expected to make waves in the town, potentially leading to a resurgence of the Shake Rag neighborhood. The refurbished hotel plans to offer five suites complete with kitchenettes along with a lobby area. A planned artifacts display area will showcase the hotel’s past, tracing the story of the Southern Queen Hotel back to its heyday, thus intertwining history with the modern world in an engaging narrative.
Human potential and perseverance are evident in Desmond Bell’s enthusiastic approach and dedication towards the project. The hotel deal provides him with the opportunity of a lifetime. He expressed deep admiration for the African-Americans who trailblazed their way, establishing strong foundations and legacy to inspire future generations.
The redevelopment of the Southern Queen Hotel is more than a real estate deal. It’s the resurrection of a forgotten jewel, a blending of past and future, a revival of Bowling Green’s rich history, and most importantly, an enduring commitment to preserving and promoting the legacy that the hotel typifies.
