Hotel at Old Town is personally my favorite hotel in town. My husband and I have stayed there multiple times, and it’s the hotel where our wedding guests stayed. We chose it because of the location and because it is locally owned and operated. Plus, it’s a charming hotel, and the rooms are fantastic. I love all the local touches this hotel provides, from the Wichita memorabilia to the history of the building.
