The Atwood House Bed & Breakfast

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.

You will "experience the elegance" of a three-room suite. The Atwood Suite is Lincoln's most elegant bridal suite. Each of the other suites also has a 19th century three-piece bedroom set and private sitting area for a comfortable place to relax. Each private bath has monogrammed towels, fluffy robes and all of the amenities.

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.

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.
