Rathskeller

Constructed of beautiful Rookwood Pottery in 1907, this Bavarian-style work of art, is the only room of its kind in the world.

Décor includes an arched, red-tinted terra-cotta ceiling. Tile designs depict walled cities in the Rhenish region of Germany, where the hotel's founders, Otto and Louis Seelbach, were born. For almost 100 years, this room has been an intimate spot for social gatherings. Today, the Rathskeller is the perfect place for a romantic reception of 100 to 150 people.
