Fodor's Expert Review Copper King Mansion Bed and Breakfast
219 W. Granite St., Butte, Montana, 59701, USA
Completed in 1888 as the home of notorious Copper King William Andrews Clark, the mansion remains much in its original state, and is the only privately owned mansion in Montana accessible to the public through seasonal tours. Six of the mansion's 35 rooms are used as a B&B, and the owners have attempted to re-create the experience of living like a turn-of-the-century millionaire, with such furnishings as a hand-carved fireplace, burled walnut bed, and a circular shower that hits you from all sides.
PROS

- central downtown location
- free guided tour
CONS
- even kings get hot without air-conditioning
- no pets
- some rooms have a shared bathroom
