DeSoto House Hotel

Illinois' oldest operating hotel, featuring 55 Victorian-style guest rooms. It offers enclosed guest parking, three restaurants, and meeting, and banquet facilities. A self-guided historical walking tour is available to guests and the public, including a 'Quiet Room' to sit and enjoy the historical video. The DeSoto House encompasses a four-story atrium for Courtyard dining serving breakfast, lunch, and private banquets, as well as the Generals’ Restaurant, named in honor of Galena’s nine Civil War Generals, which offers a lounge and dining rooms amidst the atmosphere of the original brick walls and beamed ceilings. Green Street Tavern, the third dining area in its 1883 location, is the perfect place to sit and watch Main Street.
