 | Lawrence Eldridge Hotel Reviews | 1 - 4 of 4 |  |
I've not actually stayed at the Eldridge, the grande dame of downtown Lawrence, but I've frequented its Jayhawker bar.
It's one of the most historic buildings in town and is one of about 200 National Trust Historic Hotels of America.
The Jayhawker bar on the ground floor reminds me very much of an English pub with its polished wooden bar, etched mirrors and huge padded chairs. Leave a Comment

Colonel Shalor Eldridge built a hotel here for Free Staters in the late 1850s - and this has been a center of the community ever since. The hotel survived - even though Quantrill's Raiders burnt the place down in 1863, it has been rebuilt, restored, and reanimated many times over the last 140 years.
Many important visitors to Lawrence over the years have stayed at the Eldridge - including Oscar Wilde in 1882. The current building dates from the 1920s.
I never have stayed here, so I won't comment on the quality of the accomodation. I have eaten in the restaurant, Shalor's, several times, but I won't give it a review here because the last time was 13 years ago. Leave a Comment
