The staff were all incredible throughout my stay. I ended up being snowed in for an extra day. The restaurant and bar are super cute! Highly recommend checking out this hotel. The museums in the area are really cool and Elmwood is loaded with tons of bars, cafes and restaurants so you have lots of options nearby as well.

This is a very special hotel! The architecture of the Richardson is one of a kind. It’s a unique experience staying here. Location in the north end of Elmwood Village couldn’t be better. Easy parking and walkable to great restaurants, shops and the art gallery. We loved the hotel bar! Special shoutout to the sweetest bartender <3 Will definitely recommend to friends.

The room was clean, the beds were comfortable, the staff was friendly as could be! The Richardson felt like the center of action -- the holiday market out front was incredible, with people everywhere having a good time under the beautiful lights in this iconic architectural marvel. And once we were upstairs, it was quiet and cozy. Perfect spot.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the historic Richardson Hotel. It is a beautiful "old" hotel with modern rooms and it's own unique charm. I enjoyed the architecture of the building and the wonderfully high ceilings throughout the building and rooms as well as the extra wide hallways that you just don't see anywhere else. I had a great night sleep which is not always common when spending a night away from home.

It’s just a beautiful property. The architecture is renowned. The hotel was very quiet. I stayed there in 2020 under other ownership and there is a definite difference. I preferred the previous stay which was much more lively and welcoming - so it’s just a different vibe now and that’s okay! Reasonable rate, clean, quiet and like walking around a museum.
