A Midwest hotel with a tale to tell.
At the crossroads of adventure and history, The Literary Hotel in Downtown Solon unfolds like a well-thumbed novel, with each page revealing the soul of a bygone era. Housed in a meticulously restored auditorium from 1915, this hotel offers a stay that is as enriching as it is comforting.
Like stepping into a storybook.
The Literary Hotel's transformation from a historic auditorium to a treasured boutique reflects a dedication to preservation. The original maplewood flooring and black metal fabrications are constant reminders of the building's past, while the modern comforts and amenities make the contemporary traveler feel at home.
Where all your experiences begin and end.
Beyond the charm of vintage flooring and bespoke design, modern conveniences like cozy mattresses, soft linens, and high-speed WiFi make this hotel the ideal place to stay during your visit to Solon. Each of the 11 rooms is unique, so you can stay again and again while still finding something new each time.
The Literary Hotel is within walking distance of some of the finest restaurants in eastern Iowa. Or, if you prefer to stay in, you can order room service from the local Bluebird Cafe. Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, getting a tasty meal at any time of the day couldn't be easier.
