Your mobility day at The Eldridge Hotel

Here's how it flows: we deliver your scooter or wheelchair to the The Eldridge Hotel bell desk before you arrive — cleaned, charged, and ready — so it's waiting at check-in with nothing for you to carry. From your room you roll straight out the front entrance, with Massachusetts Street downtown corridor and more within easy rolling distance. At the end of your stay, leave it at the front desk and we pick it up. You enjoy Lawrence, KS; the logistics are ours.

History & character

The Eldridge Hotel's history mirrors Lawrence's own founding-era story. The original Free State Hotel on this site was burned during the pro-slavery sack of Lawrence in 1856; rebuilt and burned again in Quantrill's 1863 raid; rebuilt again as the Eldridge House. The current building dates to a 1925 reconstruction and has operated as the Eldridge through several restorations. Today's hotel preserves the period architecture inside while retrofitting modern accessibility, and sits at 7th & Massachusetts in the heart of downtown Lawrence's pedestrian corridor.
