The historic Monarch building was originally the “finest gentleman’s club this side of the Mississippi.” Many stories have unfurled within its Victorian walls since the early 1900s, including lore of violence and hauntings. We wanted to preserve this storied building’s curious and strange history while also providing the ultimate comfort for guests.

The building has undergone two renovations, one in 2019 and one and 2020. Design flourishes such as the tin stamping on the walls, which depict dragons and hookahs, have been preserved.

The 2019 renovation included the Tesla room, the H.H. Holmes Room, the Elizabeth Bathory Room, the Black Annis Room, a full communal kitchen, and bathroom. All the rooms include luxe bedding, new windows, bluetooth speakers, and flat screen televisions.

The 2020 renovation tackled the second wing, and resulted in three more rooms: the Bela Lugosi’s Dracula Room, the Lizzie Borden Room, the Jack the Ripper Room, a second bathroom with a vintage black refinished claw foot tub, and the Victorian Atrium room, a common area which features an original skylight.
