Robard's Mansion Bed and Breakfast

Hannibal, Missouri

Robard's Mansion Bed and Breakfast is a bed & breakfast located in Hannibal.

Step back in time to the "Gilded Age" in a house built for entertaining Hannibal society, shortly before the turn of the century (1871). John L. Robards, an attorney and lifelong friend of Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain), built this house for his wife and three children. It boasts one of only two flying staircases in Hannibal, which circle all the way to the third floor. Massive pocket doors that separate the double parlors still slide smoothly after over 130 years of use. Three marble fireplace mantles still remain, along with some of the original patterned wood floors. The house is an example of classic Italianate, with massive woodwork and interior brick walls. Some wonderful plaster coffered ceilings have been uncovered and restored. Many of the 9-foot windows still have the original inside shutters to shut out sun and cold. The dining room is on the first floor and coffee is available for the early risers who might want to take a stroll to the river before breakfast.

Robard's Mansion Bed and Breakfast now has central heat and air conditioning, refinished walls, ceiling, and floors, and lace curtain covered windows. The work continues on to preserve this important part of Hannibal history.

Nearby restaurants include Labinnah Bistro, Java Jive, The Brick Oven, and Becky's Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor And Emporium.
