Escape To The Moonrise Hotel; A Cultural Capsule With
A Modern Edge:
As we dined on a delicious sampling of crab cakes we
discussed our favorite collections of celestial
objects found throughout The Moonrise Hotel and the
Eclipse Restaurant. As we enjoyed each other's company
we came to the conclusion that we were staying in a
cultural capsule with a modern edge. The Moonrise
Hotel and the Eclipse Restaurant have captured the
essence of a golden age when hospitality was the top
priority, and wrapped it up in stardust. Here, each
night is a dream under the moon when you snuggle into
the double pillow-top mattresses and close your eyes.

Don’t Tell You:
Those interested in Black History in our nation will
find more than they imagined when they visit the state
of Missouri as we found out on our tour. On our trip
to Missouri we stepped back to a time when men debated
slavery while it continued to shatter lives. We stared
across the muddy waters of the Missouri as those
desperate for freedom did on the nights they crossed.
Few escaped. Others, captured faced the certainty of
cruel punishment and death.
