A Unique Stay with History

This thoughtfully curated two-bedroom suite honors two remarkable women:

  • Owl Woman (Mis-stan-stur), a Cheyenne peacekeeper and diplomat who served as a bridge between cultures and remains a symbol of strength and connection

  • Cathay Williams, the only Black woman Buffalo Soldier, who later lived in Trinidad

Their stories bring depth and meaning to your stay, reflected in the artwork and design throughout the space.
