The Hall of Waters is key to learning about the history of Excelsior Springs. It is an easy 10 minute walk from The Elms.
This is our favorite restaurant in Excelsior Springs - highly recommended for a Friday evening meal or lunch on Saturday. Walkable from The Elms.
Fence Stiles is a locally owned winery about 10 minutes away from The Elms. One of our consistent places to visit for local wine.
The Elms features nightly 9 pm ghost tours hosted by the night maintenance manager. It is one of our favorite things to do when we stay at The Elms. Reserve tickets by calling the front desk.
Situated near the salubrious springs for which the town is named, The Elms has been a refuge for those seeking rejuvenation and refreshment since 1888. In this tradition, the newly renovated Spa at The Elms—an expansive 28,000-square-foot facility—offers a place where you can spend your days in serenity with pampering spa treatments and a wide array of amenities. All of our guests are encouraged to book discounted spa services the weekend of our wedding.
