Featuring A Spa And Salon, The Courtland Hotel Is One Of Kansas’s Most Historic Spa Retreats

There are a surprising number of places to stay in Kansas. We've got luxurious resorts, historic hotels, delightful Airbnbs... it can get downright overwhelming when trying to find accommodations for a Sunflower State vacation or staycation. One spot that we love manages to combine a touch of luxury with history and the joys of small-town Kansas. The Courtland Hotel is a historic building in Fort Scott that is now a hotel and spa perfect for your next getaway.

The Courtland Hotel was built in 1906 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

The building has changed hands several times over the years and was recently converted into a spa.

The hotel was a popular spot in the town's thriving railroad days, and the interior decor reflects that air of nostalgia.

There are a wide variety of rooms to choose from.

No matter which room you opt for, you'll be greeted with a magnificent wooden staircase and reminders throughout of the building's historical significance.

The decor may be nostalgic, but many rooms are equipped with modern comforts like a flat-screen TV. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel.

Make sure to make an appointment at the on-site spa and salon. It's the perfect spot for a relaxing massage that will put the cherry on the top of your vacation.

Life may not always be a cakewalk, but getting a facial and a massage sure makes dealing with stress a lot easier.
