Official Description (provided by the hotel):: The majestic Shakespeare Chateau was built in 1885 by Nathan Ogden when St. Joseph Missouri was known as "The Queen of the River Cities." High atop a bluff looking down across the city toward the Missouri River, 809 Hall Street is one of several mansions in the Hall Street Historic District known locally as "Millionaires' Row." You'll enjoy meeting the friendly innkeeper, Isobel, as she takes you through the palatial interior. You'll marvel at 47 (yes, 47!) original stained glass windows, carved cherrywood and walnut mantles, and of course, a bust of the Bard himself above the grand fireplace in the front foyer. But most of all, you'll enjoy our comfortable sleeping rooms, each one beautifully appointed with fabulous art and antiques and luxurious linens. ... more less

“A gem in the heart of St. Joseph”

Reviewed 10 June 2013

Words can not express the beauty contained within the walls of the historic Ogden Mansion, also known as the Shakespeare Chateau. It's still under renovation in the dining room and third level of the mansion but the majority of it is done and pristine. Isabel has done an amazing job of restoring the home to it's original state including replicating... More

Great place for a weekend get away! The room was great, the mansion was unbelievable. The history story telling by Isobel was informative and passionate. If you are looking for a beautiful place to stay that is quiet and has with alot of history - you have found your spot.

Thank you both for staying with me at the Shakespeare Chateau. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed my tour of the mansion, and hope you'll come back for another visit soon! More

We stayed here for a weekend getaway for our 40th anniversary and found it most enjoyable from the moment we walked thru the front door to the breakfast the morning we left. Isobel graciously gave us a tour thru the entire home and told us about the house's past lives and plans she has for it in the future. We... More

“Beautiful B&B”

Reviewed 2 June 2013

We stayed at this beautiful B&B as a quick weekend away from Kansas City and it exceeded our every expectation. The house is being beautifully restored by Isobel, the innkeeper, who is a wealth of fabulous information about the house and the time period. Breakfasts were delicious and the rooms very comfortable. We hope to come back again!

Thanks for staying with us, Brad! I was delighted to meet you, and enjoyed our conversation about Saint Joseph's history and current real estate opportunities. And I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the breakfasts! Good luck in your new home, and please come back to visit anytime! More

“Beautiful Property”

Great place to stay. The entire house is beautiful. We stayed in the Romeo and Juliet Suite. I loved how large the room was, much more spacious than staying in a hotel. This suite also attaches to the parlor next door which was nice. It both gave us some extra space and let me watch what I wanted on tv... More

We accidentally found this treasure while travelling from out of state this weekend, deciding on a whim to drive through St. Joseph for the first time, and am i glad: Your jaw will drop open when you walk into the foyer, you may even cry!
