Why Stay with Us
A Historic Building Gets a Second Chance as an Independent Boutique Hotel
The Collegiate is a historic hotel that began its life as a Wittel Hall, a women’s dorm built in 1940 to serve the burgeoning number of women enrolling at Auburn University. The Wirth’s purchased the property in 2017 and personally oversaw all the details of The Collegiate’s multi-million-dollar renovation to create a luxurious and comfortable space to welcome Auburn graduates, parents, prospective students, and travelers alike to the charm of the Loveliest Village.
Step back in time in our historic lobby that features copies of Auburn University’s beloved Yearbook, the Glomerata…Auburn Graduates, make sure to find your photo and sign! Unwind on our wrap-around porch featuring a magnificent mural while sipping on a craft cocktail from The Bar at Wittel. Browse our locally sourced artwork then head up to the Rooftop Bar for eagle-eye views of Auburn’s iconic skyline before retiring to your comfy and stylish room.
Leave the Chains Behind.
Experience Family Owned and Operated
We are unexpected Hoteliers, but that is the unique effect Auburn has on so many people. This is a special town that draws you back again and again. We are honored to be a part of local history by saving Wittel Dorm and lovingly leading its transformation into The Collegiate Hotel. Wittel Dorm was owned and operated by two generations of the Wittel family and we are keeping that tradition of hospitality alive as active hotel owners. We look forward to personally welcoming you to The CoHo. Until then we will leave you with a warm War Eagle!
