The Herring Hotel is one of the oldest buildings in downtown Amarillo, Texas.[2] It was completed in 1926 and was named after the builder and operator, Cornelius Taylor Herring (1849–1931).[3] However, the Herring hotel closed in 1966 and the building was converted into an office building for the US government. The building has been vacant since 1978.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 25, 2024.[4][1]

In November 2025, plans were announced to restore the long-abandoned building as a luxury hotel, set to open in 2029.[5]
