On the walls, you will uncover artwork that reflects Nebraska. The lodge provides a large fitness heart and the foyer alone is a area visitors will want to linger.

“Our coffee shop is named the Very good Existence Coffee Store, and it is open up to the community as all of our outlets are,” Bauermeister mentioned. And they will serve a specific blend of The Mill Espresso known as The Scarlet.

“We have a rooftop bar, called the Barred Owl,” Bauermeister mentioned. “We have an indoor portion as well as the patio outside the house, so when it’s pleasant and wonderful outside the house, we can open up up the wall.”

The rooftop bar is 1 of quite a few spaces that people today will be able to reserve for exclusive occasions. The dining space at The Scarlet will give foods that Nebraskans will recognize like their take on the Reuben sandwich and a handmade Runza. They will have Dairy Shop ice product. And the 150+ rooms are all named immediately after Nebraska cities.

“They’ll see a placard with the identify of the town, tailor made art function from the city, as very well as background of the city,” Bauermeister stated.
