Escape . . . unwind . . . and indulge yourself . . . in the beauty and the romantic grandeur that is the BEALL MANSION. Once the private residence of Senator Edmond Beall—industrialist, financier and politician—welcome to a world of eleven and a half foot ceilings, hardwood floors, crystal chandeliers, leaded glass windows, pocket doors, and original wood work. Welcome to a world of imported marble and bronze statuary, Chinese artwork, and handwoven Persian and Oriental rugs. Welcome to a world where you will revel in the opulence and the luxury once reserved only or the turn of the century elite. Welcome to the BEALL MANSION. Champagne, chocolates, nightly turn down service and gourmet breakfast are but a few of the niceties that await you (Non alcoholic sparkling beverages also available.) Choose from five beautifully appointed guest rooms—each unique in size and decor—and each with its own private bath complete with whirlpool for two or claw foot tub, imported marble floor, and chandelier. Let us spoil you with breakfast in bed . . . or join the other guests for some early morning camaraderie and a gourmet breakfast in the "Butler's Pantry" or the Formal Dining Room. An Express Continental breakfast is also available for people on the go. After breakfast, enjoy a walk through our historic Middletown neighbor-hood. Shop for that "special find" in Alton's extensive downtown antique district. Go eagle watching. Or enjoy a panoramic view of the Illinois Bluffs and the Mighty Mississippi on a scenic bike ride along the Great River Road. When you return, aboard an authentic river gambling boat—the Alton Belle Casino, treat yourself to afternoon tea in the parlor or a refreshing glass of home made lemonade on the pillared front porch, or curl up with a good book in front of one of our many fireplaces. For your comfort, convenience, and safety, The BEALL MANSION features In Room Phones, Cable TV, Alarm Clock Radio, Iron and Ironing Board Ceiling Fans, Central Air Conditioning, Radiator Heat and Central Station Monitored Fire Alarm. Meeting Rooms, Internet, Copy and Fax Service are also available.
