St. Louis' Award Winning Bed & Breakfast

Spend the Night Where Beer Barons Slept

The Lavender Suite

The Lavender Suite is a tribute to the elegance of the gilded age. This three-room suite, composed of a breakfastsitting room, bedroom and bathroom recreates the fabulous era when beer barons slept here. It takes its name from Lillian Handlan Lemp, known in S t Louis society as "the Lavender Lady." In imitation of the Carina of Russia, Mrs. Lemp dressed exclusively in lavender. This suite boasts two ornate mantles (one in the sitting room and the other in the bathroom) copper & brass chandeliers and hand-painted wall detailing. The huge bathroom contains fixtures of Italian marble and a white granite shower stall with brass piping.

The William Lemp Suite

The bed and sitting rooms of St. Louis' first great beer baron and baroness recapture the splendor of America's gilded age. Rich carpeting, authentic chandeliers and vintage marble-topped walnut furniture create an aura of splendor and romance that will make your visit a memorable one. The turn-of-the-century walnut bed with its fluffed-up pillows make for a peaceful night's sleep under the watchful eye of the legendary Lemp family spirits. Glance to the south out the front window and see the massive Lemp brewery, the seat of a huge 19th century mercantile empire. Then enjoy breakfast in a window overlooking the Lemp Mansion's beautiful terraced courtyard, lovely garden area and gazebo. Forming a backdrop is the coach haus, where the family stabled their collection of prize-winning horses.

The Charles Lemp Room

After the deaths of his parents, William Lemp, Jr. converted the family mansion into the corporate offices of the Lernp Brewing Co. When William, Jr., committed suicide in 1922 his younger brother, Charles Lemp, made it his residence. Still wealthy from the family's brewing fortune, Charles traveled extensively during the 1930s and 40s, picking up lavish and unique furnishings from the art deco and post-depression periods. This is reflected in the decor of Charles' bedroom.

The walls of this room are done in plum-burgundy with hardwood floors and vintage light fixtures. The furnishings include a queen-size bed, massive wardrobe, Icart prints and other antiques.

Charles was the last member of the the Lemp family to inhabit the mansion, committing suicide there in 1949.

The Elsa Lemp Room

This beautiful room has a commanding view of the St. Louis skyline and Mississippi River. Located on the mansion's top floor, it has a working fire place and unique furnishings that include a unusual bed with a light built into the headboard and a vanity with backlit cobalt-blue glass.
