2023 Reindollar Award Winner

The 2023 award went to The Chandler Hotel. The award recognizes a project, led by two brave entrepreneurs, who have invested over one million dollars into a property many might consider otherwise unremarkable and not deserving of such an investment. The result has been nothing less than amazing. The Chandler Hotel is an upscale boutique hotel tucked into the heart of Madison’s historic district created out of the bones of a 10,000-square-foot former storage building, which was also once used for manufacturing, bottling, and other purposes.  Matt & Dan Chandler had a vision that this building would be the perfect place to create a small, beautifully designed, lodging place with all the amenities one would expect to see in a much larger community. This project with its focus on hospitality and preservation is very much in the spirit of Dotti Reindollar.

The Shrewsbury-Windle House was on recently featured on the Magnolia Network Show "In With The Old." HMI's Executive Director welcomed the Beck's to the Shrewsbury-Windle House as they began their rehabilitation of a building on Main Street.  Check out Season 5, Episode 5 to see the Shrewsbury-Windle House and learn more about the Beck's project.
