"Illinois' Best Bed and Breakfast"
- Illinois Magazine Readers' Poll
Escape, unwind, and indulge yourself in the beauty and
romantic grandeur that is The Beall Mansion, once the private
residence of Senator Edmond Beall -- industrialist, financier,
and politician. 
Welcome to a world of eleven-and-a-half-foot ceilings,
hardwood floors, crystal chandeliers, leaded glass windows,
pocket doors, and original woodwork ... a world of imported
marble and bronze statuary, Chinese artwork, and hand-woven
Persian and Oriental rugs ... a world where you will revel in
the opulence and luxury once reserved only for the
turn-of-the-century elite.
Each beautifully appointed guest room has a private bath
with shower, whirlpool tub for two or clawfoot tub, marble
floor, and chandelier. Lodging amenities in each room include
a feathered bed (with feather duvet in season), expanded cable
television, telephone with free local calling and voice mail,
Wi-Fi high-speed wireless Internet access service, alarm clock
radio, ceiling fan, and iron and ironing board.
For the ultimate experience, choose a Pampered Getaway with
a glass of Champagne or non-alcoholic beverage upon arrival,
imported gourmet chocolates, turn-down service, plush
monogrammed robes, toiletries including the Beall Mansion's
own homemade lavender bath salts, and expanded continental
breakfast in the formal dining room or full gourmet breakfast
in bed. (Full gourmet breakfast in bed is an additional $35.00
per room per day).

After breakfast, enjoy a walk through the historic
Middletown neighborhood. Shop for that "special find"
in Alton's extensive downtown antique district. Go eagle
watching or enjoy a panoramic view of the Illinois bluffs and
the mighty Mississippi while hiking or biking along the Great
River Road and the Meeting of the Great Rivers National Scenic
Byway. Golfers will find themselves conveniently located
within minutes of nine different courses, including the St.
Louis area's only Arnold Palmer-designed course. Twenty-five
minutes will take you to downtown St. Louis to visit the
Gateway Arch or the many museums and fine arts of the city.
When you return, treat yourself to afternoon tea in the
formal parlor, or curl up with a good book in front of The
Beall's many fireplaces. Your hosts, Jim and Sandy Belote,
look forward to pampering you at The Beall Mansion. |
