Visitors to Humboldt, Iola, Chanute, and elsewhere. Guests of all sorts in Humboldt, Chanute, Iola, or any of the other surrounding towns in Allen and Neosho Counties will enjoy their experience at the Bailey Hotel. Indulging yourself in the utter luxury and nostalgia of the Bailey Hotel is a precious treat that everyone deserves from time to time. Imagine a cozy reminiscence of the past in a setting that could be right out of Norman Rockwell's own painted memoirs.

Travelers passing by Humboldt. The Bailey Hotel is the perfect pit stop for anyone traveling to or from Tulsa, Joplin, Kansas City, Lawrence, Topeka, and other places. Humboldt passers-by can stop in at the Bailey Hotel and escape for a night or two during their journey. How does a relaxing bath in a heart-shaped Jacuzzi bathtub sound? In a clean, cozy, warm, nostalgic atmosphere with the charm and service of a bed and breakfast? Indulge yourself, and recharge your body and mind for your return to the long roads ahead.

Romantics. The Bailey Hotel is also the perfect setting in which to kindle romance. The heart-shaped Jacuzzi bathtubs get the blood circulating, and heart-warming antique furnishings, stained-glass windows, and bed and breakfast hospitality contribute to a romantic, intimate experience. Weddings, honeymoons, anniversaries, and weekend getaways are made even more special by the amorous magic of the hotel.

History buffs. The Bailey Hotel also provides a great legacy for fans of American Civil War history. Stay in a hotel that stands on the site of the home of Humboldt's sole casualty during a raid by Confederate soldiers. Nearly the entire town of Humboldt was burned to the ground during that raid, but only one man, Abel Seacrest, was killed, for refusing to halt when ordered. One Confederate soldier lost his life, too, shot while trying to remove a Union flag from a pole. "The shots came out of nowhere," read historical accounts. The shooter, however, was never identified. [Click here for more on this event.]

Groups. The intimate size of the Bailey Hotel is ideal for small gatherings of people—families, friends, clubs, coworkers—to get away together in the same hotel. Small groups can stay and hold seminars in one location, while enjoying the luxurious, vintage hotel surroundings and the stress-free pace of the community. Consume the history and Americana that is Humboldt and enjoy the attractions of the area together.
