Built in 1907 from the same Mark West basalt as the rest of Railroad Square, Hotel La Rose has been operating as a hotel almost continuously since it opened. We do not review hotels here, but the building is worth a look: a three-storey stone block with a wide veranda, immediately facing the SMART platforms. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and is the anchor of the Railroad Square historic district.
The ground-floor restaurant and bar are open to non-guests and make a convenient stop while exploring the antique shops nearby.
