Spend the Night Where Beer Barons Slept
The Lavender Suite is a tribute to the elegance of the Gilded age. This three room suite composed of a breakfast sitting room, bedroom and bathroom recreates the fabulous era when beer barons slept here. It takes its name from Lillian Handlan Lemp, known in St. Louis society as the Lavender Lady. In imitation of the Czarina of Russia, Mrs. Lemp dressed exclusively in lavender. This suite boasts two ornate mantles (one in the sitting room and the other in the bathroom), copper and brass chandeliers and hand painted wall detailing. The huge bathroom contains fixtures of Italian marble and a white granite shower stall with brass piping.
The bed and sitting rooms of St. Louis first great beer baron and baroness recapture the splendor of Americas Gilded age. Rich carpeting, authentic chandeliers and vintage marble topped walnut furniture create an aura of splendor and romance that will make your visit a memorable one. The turn of the century walnut bed with its fluffed up pillows make for a peaceful nights sleep under the watchful eyes of the legendary Lemp family spirits. Glance to the south out the front window and see the massive Lemp brewery, the seat of a huge 19th century mercantile empire. Then enjoy breakfast in a window overlooking the Lemp Mansion's beautiful terraced courtyard, lovely garden area and gazebo. Forming a backdrop is the coach house, where the family stabled their collection of prize winning horses.
After the deaths of his parents, William Lemp, Jr. converted the family mansion into the corporate offices of the Lemp Brewing Co. When William Jr., committed suicide in 1922 his younger brother, Charles Lemp, made it his residence. Still wealthy from the familys brewing fortune, Charles traveled extensively during the 1930s and 40s, picking up lavish and unique furnishings from the art deco and post depression periods. This is reflected in the decor of Charles bedroom. The walls of this room are done in plum burgundy with hardwood floors and vintage light fixtures. The furnishings include a queen size bed, massive wardrobe, Icart prints and other antiques.Charles was the last member of the Lemp family to inhabit the mansion, committing suicide there in 1949.
This beautiful room has a commanding view of the St. Louis skyline and Mississippi River. Located on the mansion's top floor, it has unique furnishings that include an unusual bed with a light built into the headboard and a vanity with backlit cobalt blue glass.
Located on the third floor of the Lemp Mansion in the former servants quarters the newly remodeled suites are mirror images of one another. Each room has a private bathroom and queen bed, plush carpet and Jacuzzi baths make these two rooms some of the most comfortable in the Mansion.
