ILLINOIS: The DeSoto House Hotel, Galena

Upon opening in 1855, the DeSoto House Hotel called itself the "largest hotel in the West."

The architecture and design of the DeSoto House Hotel feel just as glamorous as they did in the 1850s.

Guests are encouraged to take a self-guided walking tour of the property, and the hotel also offers a video detailing the hotel's history. With stunning Victorian-inspired interiors, it's no surprise that the hotel is a popular wedding venue.
