The Holland Hotel consists of two rectangular masses: a two-story brick section (now the hotel’s annex) at the W. Holland and N. 6th Street intersection and the three-story, stucco-covered main building in the center of the block. The annex was constructed in 1912 as the State National Bank Building. Trost and Trost’s three-story addition was built in 1928 for local rancher J. R. Holland at the apex of Alpine’s importance as a railroad center. On the facade, lion-headed medallions adorn the walls between bays of sash windows. The hotel’s ground-floor interior has plastered faux bois ceilings, as found in many of the Trosts’ projects.
The hotel is conveniently located near the Amtrak Station (Texas and New Orleans Railway Passenger Station) at 102 W. Holland Avenue, a Spanish Colonial Revival building of 1946 with a distinctive cupola.
