❝ ONLY THE BEST FOR MY STARS. ❞​

❝ HISTORY. ❞

Following the birth of Stardom™ Record Label, Castille Evans and Damon Starr put their minds together onto their next project. Evans and Starr wanted to stand out from other competing record labels, and aimed to show artists signed to their label just how much they truly cared for them. A beautifully crafted hotel that Stardom artists could reside at was the perfect idea. While the record label was formed in 1963, the Stardom Hotel wasn't finished until 1971. It was one of the biggest moves in the music industry, and caused a landslide of artists to sign with Stardom.

In the early days lodging at Stardom Hotel was free of charge. Castille and Damon invited close friends to lodge at their hotel. A younger Michael Jackson, Prince, Muhammed Ali, Billie Jean King and more. With time staying at the hotel became more and more lucrative. A price was set to lodge, and it now sits at no less than $100,000 nightly. In total value, it's estimated that Stardom Hotel is now worth over $15,000,000.

Stardom hotel has gone under multiple renovations since it was first created. It's floors have increased from 8 to 12, with various new additions and sections to it all. Amidst all this, it's always retained its gold and white aesthetic.
