Scenes from the movie "Paper Moon" starring Ryan and Tatum O'Neal were filmed at the Midland Railroad Hotel in 1973.

Today's Midland Railroad Hotel first opened in 1899 as the Power Hotel. In its early days, the hotel was a popular stop for travelers on the Union Pacific railroad going between Kansas City and Denver.

After a fire nearly destroyed the hotel in 1902, it was restored and reopened as the Midland Railroad Hotel. The hotel's latest renovation took place in 2003, which restored the establishment with 1920s style in mind.
