    Inn Details

    Henderson Castle INN Bed & Breakfast Set atop the highest hill in Kalamazoo, this century-old building is a local gem with a breathtaking view of the surrounding area over 37 miles away. Built in 1895, the Henderson Castle has always been a National Registered historical landmark and is now open to the public for the first time in its history. Beginning in November 2005, the new proprietors have established the Castle as a Inn bed & breakfast with a mission; to be an agent for positive social change. Hosting fundraisers for local to international organizations, the Castle serves as a catalyst for furthering the efforts of others around the world. Featured in Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune and Select Registry, the Henderson Castle is a premier location for weekend getaways, weddings, corporate retreats and more. We offer a variety of tastefully-themed rooms fitted with the fine antique furnishings, each reflecting a distinct global culture. While sharing common creature comforts - private bathrooms, heated wooden or marble floors - each room possesses its own rich, evocative atmosphere. Heated marble floors, crystal chandeliers, gorgeous leaded and stained glass windows, fiber optic accents, a sauna, steam room and rooftop hot tub make the Castle a haven in the city and a romantic dream come true! Six distinctive bedrooms are available, including one wheel-chair accessible room. As August first 2011 French Master chef Naturopath Francois Moyet toke over the Henderson castle. His goal is to open soon a French fine dining restaurant in the Castle with a world class Naturopathic SPA.

    What a fantastic place ! This is just a magical feeling when you walk in . So much history, detail , beauty. The staff was great and very professional. The hot tub on the roof is amazing! what a view ! Our dinner at the restaurant was the best meal I ever have in my life !!!! and I go out all the time...We stay in the Italian suite, it was very nice, clean and the heated floor was amazing. The 13 shower head was just amazing.

    Francois and his staff exemplify outstanding service and are a wealth of knowledge regarding the history of the Henderson Castle and Kalamazoo. They make you feel welcome and comfortable. A few things need to be tweaked, but i found myself overlooking some issues due to the sincerity of the owner and staff.

    Great Get-away!

    Henderson Castle was a great choice for our anniversary celebration. The castle itself is beautifully renovated, Francois was charming and hospitable, the food was excellent and the roof-top hot tub was an amazing way to relax at the end of the day, overlooking the beautiful city lights. Some aspects of the business are still a bit unpolished, like the staff member who greeted us at the door to check us in at 6pm in sweats and the blaring classical music that they forgot to turn off and continued all night (weren't sure where they were or how to let them know). All in all, though, it was a great value, we had a great time and will definitely go back.

    Henderson Castle is a wonderful escape from reality. Our Earth Sky room allowed us the fall asleep under the stars after our romantic respite in the rooftop hot tub. Breakfast in the morning was outstanding and provided by the remarkable Francois. I recommended Henderson Castle to my co-workers when I returned to work and reality the following week.

    A weekend getaway, 11/13/11.

    I didn't know what to expect, I found the castle on-line. We was looking for someplace to go for an evening to just getaway and relax. We were not disappointed. I didn't realize that I had booked the only first floor room. A patron came that needed the room so we were upgraded to the Dutch Room. It was a really nice room, lights in the floor, and a very comfortable bed. The decor of the castle was great, it was like visiting a historic home but being able to touch the furniture. We didn't eat dinner but I can tell you it smelled amazing. We took advantage of the hot tub on the roof and really enjoyed it, the view was awesome. I'm looking forward to going back so we can sit in the hot tub when its snowing. There was no phone or tv in the room and that was just fine with me. They did have a tv in a room that could be used by anyone and it was nice as well. In the morning Francois cooked us an amazing breakfast of french toast with carmelized fruit and homemade whipped cream. The entire experience was excellent and better than I imagined. We will be back again. They are even having a murder mystery dinner on December 3rd. If I had the time available I'd love to be there. Thank you so much for such a great evening!
