Boutique Hotel

1 N Main St, Ellinwood, KS

Built in 1894 by prominent local businessman John Wolf, this striking two-story brick building stands as a living monument to Kansas boomtown history. Operating with a unique bed-and-breakfast setup, the property completely bypasses modern corporate slickness, offering vintage-styled rooms that range from full suites to cozy, traditional quarters. The hotel is famous for its direct access to Ellinwood's historic underground tunnels and its operational weekend "Underground Saloon," a beautifully restored prohibition-era bar located beneath the property. It provides an unforgettable, deeply atmospheric resting spot for travelers navigating the immense open stretches of the Central Plains.
