The Atwood House is an 1894 Neoclassical Georgian Revival mansion located two blocks from Nebraska's State Capital. This unique 7,500 - plus square foot home is decorated throughout with Victorian antiques.
You will "Experience the Elegance" of our three-room suite. The Atwood suite is Lincoln's most elegant bridal suite. It provides over 800 square feet of ambiance including a working fireplace and a six-window bay in the sitting area. The bedroom has a king size antique three-piece walnut and marble Victorian bedroom set and ornate walnut wardrobe. The bath is patterned after a Roman bath. It features a two-person corner heart-shaped whirlpool tub surrounded by columns and marble.
An exquisite breakfast is served on bone china with sterling silver, Waterford crystal and linens in the formal dining room, the sun room or the privacy of your suite.
