Lamberson Guest House - A historic 1870 Italianate mansion with hand-carved details and modern luxuries in Galena's scenic district

Located at the top of Prospect Street, this three-star Galena hotel preserves its 1870s heritage through heart pine floors, original gas lights, and hand-carved mantles. The mansion features four individually decorated guestrooms and suites equipped with custom handcrafted king or queen beds, lavender-rinsed sheets, and private bathrooms with rainfall shower heads. Each accommodation at Lamberson Guest House includes modern amenities such as flat-screen TVs, complimentary Wi-Fi, and electric fireplaces. Guests start their day with a three-course breakfast served at 9:00 AM, featuring fresh-made pastries and seasonal fruit creations, followed by afternoon wine and cheese service at 4:00 PM. The property sits steps away from downtown's boutiques and restaurants, with views overlooking President Grant's former residence. Notable attractions within 0.5 miles include the Dowling House, Old Market House Historic Site, and various dining venues.
