The Kindler Hotel

Excellent experience all the way around. Staff is friendly, conversational, and accommodating. I especially enjoyed an energetic conversation with the bartender at Boitano's. The lobby is smaller than internet pictures would suggest, but there"s ample seating at the bar, plus beautiful seating outdoors in front of the hotel. Shuttle service to the airport is in an Escalade, one sweet ride. Boitano's offers elevated bar food. It's not a full dinner, but the flavors are fresh and complex, and portions are generous. Wine selections are good, too. The room was quiet and comfortable, sleek and urbane. Bedding is top notch. One of the managers told me the hotel was refreshed two years ago, but everything looks brand new. There were several lighting options, plus there was automatic lighting in the armoire. The hotel couldn't possibly be in a better location. It's walkable to the university, Lied Center, downtown eateries, government properties, and the Haymarket. I spent three wonderful days in Lincoln, and The Kindler Hotel was my home away from home.

The heated floors were nice, but beyond that I'm not sure why this hotel is priced the way it is. The bed was uncomfortable, there was a restaurant with room service listed, but no menu in the room. When I tried to call the front desk to get a menu, the phone didn't work. The shower water was barely warm enough.

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 nothing between you both, and you glance over not expecting the worst--but good God, you make direct eye contact with grandma just as the buffet takes its revenge on her poor aged system. Suddenly your entire childhood changes in one horrific moment and you'll never be able to regard your grandmother in the same way every again. Your entire relationship with what you once regarded as your sweet grandmother has been stolen by an architect who broke the time-honored tradition of bathrooms and privacy. And from there, things with grandma are never the same. At best, what happened is simply not discussed. But the shame manifests in weird, unpredictable ways and in time she starts favoring the other grandchildren more. You eventually become estranged and finally, in the end, she cuts you out of her will entirely. All that money she had, which ironically allowed her to afford a room at the Kindler, now goes to all of the others, to those who did not witness "the event." They don't share, either. They also slowly cut you out of their lives, assuming that if sweet dear of grandma didn't love you, then there must be something truly awful about you. So you grow old and bitter and alone, thanks to the architect of the Kindler hotel.

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!

Omigosh! This place was amazing. It was super posh and the floor in the bathroom was heated ♥️. The only downside was that we only had one night there. I highly recommend it though if you ever find yourself in Lincoln, Nebraska.

I just stayed at the Kindler Hotel her in Downtown Lincoln, Nebraska. It has been a wonderful stay. The hotel staff are second to none; I have never had better service anywhere in the country and I travel a lot! The modern design of the hotel looks great, and is on par with top notch hotels around the country. The rooms are very nice and spacious. They are quiet and the beds are comfortable and high quality. The fitness center has the full set of dumbbells, all the way up to 55 lbs, and a multi pulley machine and treadmill. Its close to everything in Lincoln's downtown. In short, I highly recommend this place and I'd definitely stay here again!

Amazing Hotel! Beautiful designer lobby and lounge with comfortable seating and great drink selection. Very friendly and helpful staff who are knowledgeable about the area and provide great recommendations for dining and entertainment. Location is excellent - in the heart of downtown Lincoln a very short walk to the Memorial Stadium or Haymarket. Room accommodations are modern and luxurious - I especially enjoyed the heated bathroom floor, oversized bath towels and plush bedding. We will definitely stay here again!!!

Very beautifully done modern hotel. The heated bathroom floors were great on a cold winter morning. Tina in the lounge was very attentive and provided well made drinks and great conversation. She also informed me that the hotel would provide slippers to go along with the robe in the room if I wanted.

What a great place! Just spent the night but had the best time. We got the birthday package and balloons, chocolates, and a cake were all waiting in our room when we got there. Cake was delicious, TV channels were fun, and the gym is great! Staff were all very nice and helpful, and delivered our takeout directly to our room! Great place to stay, highly recommend!

We live in Lincoln and chose the Kindler Hotel to 'get away from it all' for a night. We had a wonderful time! Our room was modern, stylish, and comfortable. Our favorite detail - the bathroom floor was heated :-) We relaxed in the Lounge with a drink and very much enjoyed the live piano music. We plan to return!
