Introducing... The 1883 Guesthouse! Five gorgeous, fully renovated apartments at the Star Block offering short-stay visitors in downtown Osage City modern comforts and historic charm.
The name comes from the year the Star Block was built, and the building's history will be wrapped into every stay. Each of the five fully renovated suites will be themed after businesses from the building's past:
• The Vaudeville Suite: A two-bedroom, two-bath that sleeps up to six. Inspired by the Cozy Theatre, which screened silent films and brought in Vaudeville acts in the early 20th century.
• The Apothecary Suite: An extra-spacious one-bedroom, one-bath that sleeps up to four. Inspired by the array of apothecaries and druggists that once called the building home.
• The Publisher's Suite: A one-bedroom, one-bath that sleeps up to four. Inspired by the three newspapers that collectively occupied the building for decades.
• The Confectionary Suite: A one-bedroom, one-bath that sleeps up to six. Inspired the sweet shoppe and various eateries in the building's history.
• The Merchant's Suite: A fully ADA-accessible one-bedroom, one-bath that sleeps up to four. Inspired by the dry goods, five-and-dime and assorted other stores dotting the building's past.
Opening this summer!
