Step
back in time... and
experience the ambiance of a bygone era at this historic inn. Nestled
between the bluffs along the Osage River just above where it joins the
Missouri in the picturesque town of Bonnots Mill, the Dauphine Hotel
has been welcoming travelers along the Lewis & Clark trail since
1875. The Dauphine is listed on the National Register of Historic Places
and is part of the Bonnots Mill National Historic District.
The Dauphine Hotel offers seven guest rooms; each furnished
with antique dressers and iron beds which are original to the hotel.
All of the guest rooms have private baths and central air conditioning.
A full country breakfast is served in the large
family-style kitchen as well as the adjacent dining room. Innkeepers
Sandra and Scott Holder pride themselves on offering a comfortable and
casual atmosphere in one of the most authentic old hotels west of the
Mississippi.
The Dauphine is the only hotel in the tiny town of Bonnots
Mill. Originally servicing river travelers and then the railroad traffic.
If you are a history buff, you'll enjoy talking to Scott and Sandra
about the Dauphine and the town in general.
