The Kindler Hotel
Our hotel blends the independent spirit of Lincoln's heritage, neo-classical architecture, and sophisticated accommodations to create a boutique hotel experience Lincoln hasn't seen before. The creative spirit of the late Lincoln native and hotel namesake, Ken Kindler, lives on through artful details and the hospitality we extend to our guests.

The Kindler Hotel's design was conceived by award-winning Ross Vincent Design. Our 49 well-appointed guest rooms take inspiration from Lincoln, Nebraska's rich cultural history. Our double queen rooms are perfect for guests traveling with a family or a group, and our Lincoln Suites are ideal for a business trip or a romantic getaway.

Amazing hotel! Everything is top notch! The room is state of the art with automatic lights in the bathroom, heated floors in the bathroom, a glass shower with multiple heads, clean beds and rooms, automatic lights in the closet. I can't recommend this hotel enough. The staff was also absolutely amazing, kind and went above and beyond!

Here's the deal with the Kindler. It's super nice. But in all of its aesthetic grandeur, they sacrificed one huge principle: Bathrooms should be **private**. I'm sorry, but some things should remain private between just you and God, you know?? In this hotel, there is a shocking 1+" gap between the bathroom doors and the door opening. Basically, the bathroom door does not close. So, there you are in Grandma's room saying goodnight after a long evening at the buffet and she's like "excuse me for a moment, dear." And so there you are in the room and maybe you're standing in that exact spot, literally

We recently held a workplace retreat in the Kindler's conference room and were very happy with the experience. The service was great, the design is fantastic and we really enjoyed the outdoor seating area for after work cocktails & appetizers.

Really enjoyed my stay at the Kindler hotel. Beautiful hotel in a great location. The staff goes above and beyond. The decor and rooms are beautiful. The details throughout the hotel are a definitely a sight to see. There are heated floors in the bathroom. The lounge in the hotel has great food and drinks. I look forward to staying here again and would highly recommend it.

Stayed a night during a cross country road trip. Service was great. Hotel was nice, new, clean. Room was spacious and well designed. The bed was fantastically comfortable (after staying a few nights at inn's and highway chain hotels!).

Parking is very convenient.

Only ding would be that it's a bit pricey for what you get in Lincoln.

Where to begin? The Kindler is a gorgeous luxury hotel in downtown Lincoln, with beautiful views of the city and stadium. Having grown up in Lincoln, the Kindler provided me a view of the city I've never seen before. The staff was incredibly welcoming, from the front desk to the managers to the bartender. Special shout-out to bartender Bobby for taking care of me and making the delicious Italicus spritz.
My room was amazing too- immaculately designed and spotless, and a really cool layout. I have to mention the shower was huge, with some of the nicest design and fixtures I've ever used. The balcony

We stayed at the Kindler during our recent visit to Lincoln. Was very impressed with both the look and feel of the property. Very classy without being overly pretentious. Rooms were very spacious and immaculate. Heated floors in the bathroom were a very nice touch. Staff were friendly and strived to make sure we were completely happy with everything. The lounge area was well designed and decorated. We tried a few of their signature cocktails, all of which were outstanding. Bourbon fans should definitely try the Gold Rush. If you are interested in something more than just a room in another

Unbelievably great customer service! Man I didn't think customer service like this existed today, but the Kindler staff out did themselves everyday! The rooms were great too! Heated bathroom floors, luxurious showers, and comfy beds. This is a wonderfully decorated hotel and feels very high class! Would stay here again!

My stay at the Kindler was extremely positive. The staff were friendly, professional, and extremely helpful. The room was exceptionally clean and the service was superb.
(The hotel bar/lounge made some great drinks) I cannot recommend this hotel enough. They made my stay in Lincoln one to remember, and I definitely look forward to staying there in the future.

Found everything to be top notch at the Kindler. Loved the building and the location. Staff was nice and courteous and super accommodating. We did not eat or drink on property, but the bar area looked very nice and inviting. We would definitely consider staying there again!

While I would never fault a business focused on profits, imagine not waiving a “two night stay requirement” for someone trying to find a special place to spend the night of their wedding. Horrible customer service and I would never recommend supporting this place going forward.

The Kindler is a great hotel. The rooms were clean and had great amenities. Great staff who knew our names. We were greeted every time we walked through the lobby. That personal touch was very nice. There is convenient parking. The workout room was perfect. And the internet never failed. I highly recommend a stay at the Kindler.

Amazing hotel! I have stayed their twice for a "staycation" due to not being able to travel and I would not pick anywhere else in Lincoln to stay other than the Kindler. Elegant atmosphere, great drinks, comfortable rooms with great detail.

I don't know about Annie K, but Kindler is the nicest boutique hotel I've stayed at by far. We stayed at a Ritz Carlton after this place and Kindler was better. Heated bathroom floors are a game changer. Nicest staff in Nebraska.

Highly recommend for a stay, or pop into the lounge for an awesome cocktail they are amazing!

Stunning hotel! Attention to detail everywhere including the service. The rooms are well designed with comfortable beds and heated bathroom floors! Boitano's Lounge is a great place to gather with your friends to watch a game or have a meeting. I wouldn't stay anywhere else next time I'm in Lincoln!

This is my second business trip to Lincoln and I'll be staying at the Kindler Hotel from here on. The hotel is big on style and a unique upscale feel from the minute you enter the hotel. It's modern and art deco design that is tastefully done throughout the entire hotel! It's a 5-minute walk across the street to the historic Haymarket restaurants and nightlife as well as Memorial Stadium.

The lobby has great decor, and Boitano's Lounge makes well designed cocktails, draft beer, and it has a really cool water vapor fireplace that separates the restaurant and bar areas.
