Audubon’s Hotel One of Missouri’s Longest Running Hotels At 9 North Main Street in downtown Ste. Genevieve, Audubon’s blends boutique hotel charm with restaurant excellence in a building that has anchored the town’s social scene since 1901. First opened as the City Hotel in 1904, this 120-year-old structure underwent complete renovation in 2018, transforming into seven contemporary luxury rooms, each with private bathroom. Current owners Brock and Megan Gibson—who also own Dannie’s Sports Tavern and The Beacon—purchased the establishment in fall 2024 from the Fallerts and Fergusons, inheriting what Brock calls “an absolute gem” and “a very important place in this town.” With a first-floor restaurant serving scratch-made French, Cajun, German, and Italian cuisine, a beer garden across the street, and an untapped basement cellar, Audubon’s delivers what one longtime visitor describes as “the best hotel in town…the location can’t be beat. All the important historic attractions and restaurants are within walking distance. A person can park, check in, and never get in your car again.” Palace Bar to Boutique Hotel: 120 Years of Downtown Vitality The property’s story begins in 1901 when Charles Petrequin purchased it for just over $2,000. By 1903, it housed the historically famous Palace Bar—a Read more…

I’ll create an expanded description for Sassafras Creek Cabin in the same style as the other tourism articles: Sassafras Creek Cabin – Where 1840s Authenticity Meets Modern Comfort in a Restoration Road Star Cabin Within Ste. Genevieve National Historical Park Most historic lodging involves staying in renovated buildings where modern amenities awkwardly coexist with period architecture—exposed beams above recessed lighting, original fireplaces beside flat-screen TVs, antique exteriors wrapped around thoroughly contemporary interiors. Sassafras Creek Cabin takes different approach: this circa 1840 log cabin, relocated to its current St. Marys Road property in June 2020 and featured in Season 1, Episode 3 of Restoration Road (streaming on Max), offers genuinely immersive historical experience where furniture, decor, and atmosphere authentically match the cabin’s time period. You’re not sleeping in building that merely looks old from outside while functioning like standard rental inside. You’re inhabiting space that feels genuinely transported from the 1840s—stepping back in time to experience what frontier cabin living actually meant, albeit with crucial modern comforts (climate control, proper plumbing, reliable electricity) that make the experience enjoyable rather than merely authentic. The location enhances the historical immersion: Sassafras Creek Cabin sits between two houses in the newly formed Ste. Genevieve Read more…
