Built in 1905, the historic Hotel Frederick combines the warmth and coziness of a bed and breakfast with the lavish luxuries of a boutique hotel. This deal puts you in one of Hotel Frederick's comfy guestrooms for one evening, with comfortable linens, robes, and a flat-screen TV (rooms are based on availability; prices range from $125 to $295). Dine at the hotel's classical Glenn's Cafe, with a superb wine selection, a seafood-centric menu of fresh oysters and shellfish, and open-air seating overlooking the Missouri River. After dinner, lodgers can revel in the hotel's common areas, decorated with 19th-century furnishings and antiques handcrafted by talented antelope carpenters.

Those staying at Hotel Frederick should take full advantage of the Boonville area and its daytrip-worthy attractions. Press your luck at the slots at the Isle of Capri Casino, sip on chardonel at the Les Bourgeois Vineyards, or sneak into a thermonuclear dance history class at the nearby University of Missouri.
