Michael12345 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 There is some discrepancy about which floor and location JFK stayed at in the Rice Hotel right before his untimely demise in Dallas. The Rice has an apartment on the 13th floor labeled as the JFK suite. I have found some evidence that he actually stayed on the 5th floor so I would like to take some “proof” to the management so that they can correctly have it labeled.

What is your evidence re: the 5th floor? And to be clear, he did not spend the night. He made a brief stop at the hotel to appear at a dinner or lunch, then went on to the Sam Houston Coliseum for a banquet. Then he went back to Houston International Airport and flew on to Fort Worth, where he spent the night.

Michael12345 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 You are correct. He did not spend the night but had a room with a stiff back chair so he could freshen up. My evidence is a New York Times article that referenced he stayed in the International Suite on the 5th Floor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hbg.50 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 This article does not mention the floor but says he went to the Rice Hotel twice while he was in Houston on 11/21/63. https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/2013/11/21/47796/jfks-final-visit-to-houston-came-50-years-ago-today/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbg.50 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Ironically there is already a HAIF thread on this. A HAIF user says he used a room on the 5th floor on 11/21. Another user says he saw a plaque on the 13th floor. Could it be on one of his visits to Houston JFK actually spent the night on the 13th floor?
