From Brewery To Boarding House: A Nod To Mr. Menger
What began in 1859 as an extension to a beloved San Antonio brewery is now 1859 Historic Hotels. Unique hotels, resorts and conference centers rooted in the culture and culinary traditions of their individual locations, our properties shine with originality, yet share a passion for service above all else. We tip our hat to William Menger, whose brewery turned boarding house continues to reign as the oldest operating hotel west of the Mississippi.

Rave Reviews For 1859
-
The Cliff House at Pikes Peak
“I can't compliment the staff enough! The front desk crew, bellmen and restaurant staff were professional and extremely helpful our entire stay. We ate at the restaurant for almost every meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) while in Manitou Springs, and were never disappointed.”
-
The Historic Menger Hotel
“We love the Menger. It has a wonderful history, great location (walking distance to the Alamo, which is right across the street; the Riverwalk; and other places of interest). The place has retained the authenticity of its origins, which we love.”

Overton Hotel & Conference Center
“Loved our room looking out over Texas Tech. A wonderful view! Excellent location close to Tech and many restaurants. Easy access to other parts of Lubbock. The food is excellent, and the lounge area is quite enjoyable.”
