The historic Hotel Nauvoo, operated for four generations by the Kraus family, houses nine artfully appointed guest rooms in the style of the one hundred and fifty year old building without sparing any modern convenience. This famous building dates back to the Mormon period of Nauvoo history, built in part by J. J. Brendt, a Latter Day Saint, and completed by Adam Swartz, a German immigrant.
