About the Hotel
Historic Frank Lloyd Wright
The Historic Park Inn Hotel in Mason City, Iowa, is the last remaining hotel designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Completed in 1910, it showcases his Prairie School style with intricate brickwork, stained glass windows, and a cantilevered roof. The 27 rooms maintain Wright's original design while integrating modern amenities like air conditioning, smart TVs, and high-speed Wi-Fi.
Unique Room Designs
Each of the 27 rooms has a distinct layout, featuring handcrafted woodwork, heated bathroom floors, and Lutron lighting. The Historical Suite includes two bedrooms connected by a vintage bathroom with a clawfoot tub. ADA-compliant rooms offer roll-in showers and adjustable features.
On-Site Dining
The hotel houses two restaurants: The Draftsman and Leadlight. Leadlight, named after Wright's stained-glass designs, serves Midwest-inspired dishes like bacon cheeseburgers on pretzel buns and grilled Texas toast sandwiches. Guests receive exclusive dining promotions at check-in.
