The Riverboat Suites is a very charming place. It was built in 1850. The two building where completely gutted and restored by one of the top companies in Historic Restoration. Each room is unique and some are themed rooms. We are situated in the Historic district and only a short walk to Main Street. We offer three one bedroom/one bath rooms with shared kitchen, and a one bedroom bath with private kitchen. We have six Suites with fireplace whirlpool tub some with kitchenettes and living room. We have converted the root cellar on the property into a grotto for our Hot Tub. We have all the modern convinces in a home away from home environment.
I am a Galena native and enjoy living in Galena. My husband and I have restoration business We love to restore old buildings. We have restored numerous properties over years. When we did the Renaissance we wanted to create a place to stay that was keeping with Galena. We feel we have created a place that my hometown can be proud of. We love it when guests appreciate what these older buildings can offer. We have welcomed many guests over the last 30years.
We are only two blocks away from. Historic Main Street with all the restaurants, bars, museums, trolley rides, ghost tours, magic show, Grant's home, Dowling house, Bellvedere house, bike trails and bike and canoe rentals.
