Wormley's Hotel

Wormley's Hotel

Welcome to the Wormley Hotel; a nod to history and a tribute to its founder and first African American hotelier, James Wormley. The historic hotel stood proudly in Lafayette Square, the vital center of political and societal activity of the 19th century. The Wormley Hotel was the most successful private entity of its time period. At this hotel, the disputed Hayes-Tilden presidential election of 1876 was purportedly settled, coming to be known as the "Wormley Compromise."

James Wormley died on October 18th, 1884, but his legacy lives on today through this candle which pays tribute to him and all that he accomplished in his lifetime.

With notes of sweet pineapple, invigorating ginger, and warm spiced coconut, this candle delivers an aromatic experience that is both bold and intriguing. Each time you light it, the scent will fill your space with a dramatic and captivating aroma that is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who experience it.
