Not every hotel has a story.
Some are the story.

At the Historic Park Inn Hotel, architecture isn’t décor — it’s the experience.
Every hallway, window, and staircase was designed with intention by Frank Lloyd Wright himself.

This isn’t just where you stay.
It’s what you came to see.

Designed in 1910. Still timeless.

Completed in 1910 as part of Mason City’s City National Bank complex, the Historic Park Inn remains the only surviving hotel ever designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

More than a century later, the building has been carefully restored to honor Wright’s original vision — blending historic character with modern comfort.

Today, guests don’t just admire the architecture.
They live inside it.

Stay for the night. Stay for dinner, too.

Craft cocktails. Seasonal plates. Warm wood and window light.

Leadlight brings the same care and design to dining that the hotel brings to every room.

Come for the architecture.
Stay for the experience.
