Featured on Ghost Adventures, Ghost Brothers, Nick Groff's Tour, DayTripper and more. The 1840 Magnolia Hotel was a frontier hotel, stagecoach stop, saloon, restaurant and yes, brothel. It's in the ONLY overnight accommodation in Seguin's Historic Downtown District. Once destine for demolition, it has now been restored to its original glory days by owners, Jim & Erin Ghedi. The entire second floor is yours to explore. It's perfect for up to four guests who enjoy history and/or the paranormal.
The space
The fully restored upstairs 5 room single suite Bed & Breakfast on the second floor consists of:
* 2 separate private bedrooms with doors for privacy (1 king size bed & 1 Queen size bed both with ceiling fans)
* living room (with non-cable TV, a DVD player, spooky DVD's to watch & board games)
* non-cooking kitchen (Microwave, Mini-Refrigerator, coffee maker and coffee supplies)
* private restroom with a walk in shower (complimentary toiletries, towels, hair dryer)
* Central AC & Heat controlled by guest inside the suite.
AND YES, you are given complete access to the ENTIRE second floor! This includes the un-restored area of the second floor if you choose to! This is totally up to you. It's un-restored, dusty and very spooky but it is yours to journey into.
Heads up though, we do NOT allow videoing inside our building for use on ANY public media outlets (such as but not limited to YouTube, Facebook, etc.). Our private residence on the bottom, the museum, the backyard grounds and basement are not included in your stay.
Guest access
Please read before making your reservation.
As an overnight guest in our newly restored single suite/apartment Bed & Breakfast on the second floor it includes 5 rooms (a living room, 2 bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom). These 5 rooms were once part of the original 1850 ten room hotel that flourished with guests until 1900. On the day of your check-in, you will be provided with a temporary secret code to open the exterior door leading to the suite's stairway. This exterior doorway is located on S. Crockett St. Just imagine how many thousands of weary travelers crossed this threshold seeking a comfortable night's rest. Once opening the exterior door you will see the original 1850's stairs beckoning you to enter. Take note of the old pictures along the left side of the wall. With each step you will be greeted by all the previous owners of the hotel from Texas Ranger, James Campbell (who was ambushed and brutally murdered by Comanches in 1840) to the current owners, the Ghedi's. On your right you will see pictures of the hotel as it looked during it's prime with the huge balcony along the front. Midway of the stairs on your right you can actually still see the entrance to the 1847 original Magnolia Hotel below made out of solid limecrete. At the top of the stairs you will then enter another door leading you inside your suite. The first room of the suite is a large living room (known as JJ's room), then a bedroom with a queen size bed, (Amelia's room), next a king size bedroom (John Does room), a non-cooking kitchen and a full size bathroom. Curl up on the fainting lounge with a cup of hot coffee and watch our PBS' documentary called "Emma's Little Secret" before falling asleep, if you dare.
Extra Note: We do NOT allow live streaming inside our hotel. We also do NOT allow videoing inside our hotel for ANY public viewing media outlets (such as but not limited to YouTube, Facebook, etc.). You may of course take pictures as well as your own PRIVATE use videoing. Once you enter your suite straight ahead you will notice a small white locked door with a sign saying "Un-restored area of the building." Though your private 5 room single suite/apartment does not include the exterior grounds, the basement, the bottom floor or our living quarters, we are offering you access to the additional 12 room un-restored side of the second story floor for free. Keep in mind this area is UN-RESTORED, has NO electricity, no AC or heat and is NOT prepared for overnight accommodations. It is spooky, cobwebby, and hot. It is for observing the hotel's architecture, enjoying the extended history of the building, investigating and for pure entertainment. This extended adventure is purely your decision to make. Though it is consider the more haunted area of the building we do not guarantee that you will have paranormal activity. Our spirits decide who, when and if they wish to come forward. But we do guarantee spooky! If you are faint of heart then just don't enter.

The Magnolia Hotel is located in Seguin's charming Historic Downtown District. Though there is no access to the hotel grounds, the beautiful town square is located just steps from the hotel which is absolutely stunning day or night. Thousands of twinkling lights hang from the majestic Oak trees. During the day the square offers historical markers, statutes and a gorgeous water fountain to sit by. You can let your imagination go free and give thought to what it was like when the town was owned by the original Texas Rangers. There are several shops, restaurants and a museum all within walking distance to make your visit worth the trip.
