ABOUT HOTEL 1928

In partnership with Magnolia, a Texas-based lifestyle brand led by Chip and Joanna Gaines, AJ Capital transformed the Grand Karem Shrine building into an inspired hospitality experience for guests and residents of the Waco community. The historic property has been converted into Hotel 1928, which includes 33 guest rooms, three F&B outlets, over 6,600 square feet of meeting and event space, and a Magnolia concepted rooftop terrace. Originally built in 1928 and encompassing over 59,000 SF of space, the property was constructed as a Grand Shrine Temple and served as the home for the nobles of the Karem Shrine until 1995. The historic renovation opened its doors in October 2023.
