Built by the timber baron Joseph Bentley, it opened to the public in 1908. On November 15, 1979, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The hotel was once owned by the Pineville real estate developer Buddy Tudor, who worked for its historic preservation.[2] Former owner Robert G. "Bob" Dean, Jr., of Baton Rouge closed the hotel in December 2004 and placed it on the market, at one time asking $12 million. The current owner, Michael Jenkins, purchased the facility for $3.4 million on October 11, 2012;[3] The Bentley had been listed for $6.5 million. Jenkins has now reopened the renovated hotel with a hundred available rooms.[4] The newer part of the structure, the seven-story tower, has been converted into condominiums; while the older section remains a hotel.[5] The Bentley Room restaurant and Mirror Room lounge have also been reopened.[6] An area inside the Main Lobby has also been utilized to create a World War II exhibit, which showcases many items of memorabilia from the war. Hotel Bentley was significant to World War II because of the famous Louisiana Maneuvers which were conducted nearby. Notable military leaders visiting the area during that time included Generals George S. Patton, Jr., Omar Bradley, Joseph Stilwell, and Dwight Eisenhower among others. Many of these headquartered at the Bentley.[7] Nearby in the riverfront district is the 7-story Alexander Fulton Hotel and Convention Center. On August 10, 2018, the Bentley celebrated its 110th anniversary. In addition to the military figures, the Bentley has hosted such entertainers as John Wayne, Roy Rogers, and Cary Grant.[8] References1. ^{{NRISref|2009a}} {{commonscat|Bentley Hotel (Alexandria, Louisiana)}}{{National Register of Historic Places}}{{Louisiana-NRHP-stub}}2. ^"Prolific real estate developer Robert "Buddy" Tudor, Jr., dies", Alexandria Town Talk, March 15, 2010 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thetowntalk.com/|title=Closed Hotel Bentley in Alexandria sells for $3.4 million|publisher=Alexandria Daily Town Talk, October 13, 2012|accessdate=October 14, 2012}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thetowntalk.com/article/20130614/NEWS01/306140014/Alexandria-s-Hotel-Bentley-could-open-Christmas?nclick_check=1|archive-url=https://archive.is/20130616065006/http://www.thetowntalk.com/article/20130614/NEWS01/306140014/Alexandria-s-Hotel-Bentley-could-open-Christmas?nclick_check=1|dead-url=yes|archive-date=June 16, 2013|title=Jeff Matthews, "Alexandria's Hotel Bentley could be open for Christmas," June 14, 2013|publisher=The Town Talk|accessdate=June 15, 2013}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thetowntalk.com/article/20121012/NEWS01/210120317/Historic-Hotel-Bentley-changes-hands-local-businessman-Mike-Jenkins-buying-Alexandria-landmark?nclick_check=1|title=Cynthia D.
