What to know about the new business that replaced Fillup with Billups in Biloxi
A new 11-room boutique hotel is opening this week in downtown Biloxi, transforming the former Fillup with Billups restaurant into a hideaway just off U.S. 90. The Nicaud Group’s latest project features a secret 12th room — a speakeasy accessible only by key card.
FULL STORY: Something unexpected welcomes people to this new getaway in downtown Biloxi
Here are key takeaways:
- Hotel Biloxi opened this weekend, with the website and reservation line going live Friday. Rooms average about $150 a night, and one ADA-compliant room is available.
- The 12th room looks identical to the others from outside but opens to a speakeasy called The Meeting Room, serving champagne cocktails and beer from 9 Toes Brewery in Pass Christian. The door only opens when drinks are being poured.
- Rooms feature decorative tile floors, handcrafted beds built by a local woodworker and murals by local artist Robert Waldrop. The design blends old Vegas with Scottsdale style.
- The hotel sits across U.S. 90 from Beau Rivage Resort and Hard Rock Casino Biloxi, and across Caillavet Street from Keesler Federal Park, home of the Biloxi Shuckers.
- The Nicaud Group has more projects underway, including Le Magnolia Hotel in downtown Biloxi, a Bay Play Old Town Arcade in Bay St. Louis and a new development on a former ice house lot in Pascagoula.
