Official Description (provided by the hotel):: The majestic Shakespeare Chateau was built in 1885 by Nathan Ogden when St. Joseph Missouri was known as "The Queen of the River Cities." High atop a bluff looking down across the city toward the Missouri River, 809 Hall Street is one of several mansions in the Hall Street Historic District known locally as "Millionaires' Row." You'll enjoy meeting the friendly innkeeper, Isobel, as she takes you through the palatial interior. You'll marvel at 47 (yes, 47!) original stained glass windows, carved cherrywood and walnut mantles, and of course, a bust of the Bard himself above the grand fireplace in the front foyer. But most of all, you'll enjoy our comfortable sleeping rooms, each one beautifully appointed with fabulous art and antiques and luxurious linens. ... more less

“Opulence”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

What a wonderful way to pass an evening. The mansion is so opulent that you feel as if you are a character in a black and white movie. You know immediately when walking into the house that the whole structure was made with loving details everywhere. Ms. Isobel is a perfect match to this wonderful house. She lovingly tells the...

Thank you, Paula, for staying at the Shakespeare. I'm delighted that you enjoyed your stay, and was so pleased and surprised to receive the bouquet of flowers you sent the same day you left. We're still enjoying the lovely "Stargazer" lilies in the parlor of the mansion! More

“This place is like a historical museum”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW via mobile

The house is absolutely beautiful with all the stained glass windows, woodwork, fireplaces, tile, etc. Isabel, the owner, gave us a very interesting tour. She really knows her history and is passionate about restoring this old mansion. Both breakfasts we ate there were delicious. She even remembered my husband doesn't like mushrooms and left them out of his meal. She... More

I was very pleased to host Sue and her friends at the Shakespeare Chateau. Sorry to hear that a light was left on, perhaps in the hallway? I'll be paying close attention to ensure that lights are off at night. Of course, I'm always at the mansion, and my guests are encouraged to call me for any reason but especially... More

Sharon and her friends had a great weekend getaway at the Chateau - they visited some favorite Saint Joe destinations and restaurants, enjoyed a play at Robidoux Landing, and played cards in the dining room parlor here in the mansion.

On our way home to St. Louis, my wife and I decided to spend a night in St. Joseph, Mo. after visiting friends in Kansas City..

“What a treasure”

This is one of those "off the beaten path" kind of places that makes you wonder why you would EVER want to stay in a chai hote. The mansion itself is an architectural masterpiece, both inside and out. Isobel the innkeeper has dedicated herself to saving this American cultural treasure, and I'm thankful she is operating it as a B&B... More

“Nice Getaway!”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

We enjoyed our stay at this very historic hideaway in St. Joseph. What an amazing house. The owner was incredibly friendly as well as knowledgable about the history of not only the Chateau but also of the history of St. Joseph. Make sure you ask for a list of historic homes and check them all out.

Thanks for staying with us, LeRoy, and thank you for submitting a review. You're absolutely right - Saint Joseph is a treasure-trove of history, architecture, and Victoriana! I hope you'll come back and stay with us again soon! More
