Voted "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.
