The Atwood House is an 1894 Neoclassical Georgian Revival mansion located two blocks from Nebraska's capitol.

This unique 7,500 plus square foot home is decorated throughout with Victorian antiques.

Enjoy breakfast, prepared in our award winning kitchen. This exquisite fare is served on bone china with sterling silver, Waterford® crystal and linens in the formal dining room, the sun room or in the privacy of your suite.

You can drink a complimentary non-alcoholic beverage (or bring your own champagne/wine) while relaxing in your private sitting area or in the downstairs main parlor or sun room; sneak downstairs in the middle of the night for a snack or fresh fruit; or eat popcorn while watching a romantic movie (we have more than 50 recently released titles) on your own television (discreetly hidden away when not in use).

During the day you could go to the Sheldon Art Gallery, view the sunken gardens or stop in the gazebo at Hazel Able Park, tour the historic Kennard House across the street, tour the University of Nebraska's natural history museum, or visit Nebraska's Capitol which is only two blocks away.

Elegant dining is available within four blocks at Billy's or in the Historic Hay Market district which is only about a mile away.

We are also close to downtown Lincoln, the Lied Center, Pershing Auditorium, the Historic Haymarket district, the University of Nebraska, some of Lincoln's most elegant dining, and the Capitol.
