What Is Next For College Hill Hotel Developer After City Commission Votes Project Down
Small, who heads Smart Hotels, has built boutique hotels in college towns across the country.
His Sophy Hotel in Chicago near the University of Chicago has been lauded for design, but his effort to build a 126 room hotel on the corner of Angell and Brooks Street on College Hill in Providence was rejected. This is the only recent hotel project not seeking a tax stabilization agreement.

The proposed hotel would require the demolition of three homes along Angell Street owned by realtor/developer Ed Bishop.
“We are committed to working with the Bishops to realize our mutual goal for a hotel on College Hill, but need to assess what is possible and viable,” added Small.
GoLocal two weeks ago secured renderings of a redesign of the proposed new hotel for College Hill and the design is dramatically different — with a smaller footprint, on-street dining, balconies, and a mansard roof.
