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.

Nearby Attractions

The hotel is a 5-minute walk from Central Park and the Charles H. MacNider Art Museum. Lime Creek Nature Center, 3.5 km away, features interactive exhibits and a bird-feeding station. East Park, 2 km away, offers 57 acres of trails, fishing rivers, and a historic steam locomotive.

Event & Business Services

The hotel's Library and Wine Cellar Room host meetings and post-event meals. Services include 24-hour front desk, business center, and complimentary parking. Wright on the Park, a nonprofit, assists with tours of Wright-designed buildings in Mason City.
