The Beaumont Hotel is a former railroad hotel constructed in 1879 in Beaumont, Kansas. It originally opened and operated as the "Summit Hotel".[1] It currently operates as a bed and breakfast, RV Park and restaurant.[2]

Beginning in the 1940s, local ranchers began using Main Street (also known historically as Third Street)[1] as a landing strip for their planes while checking on cattle herds. In 1953, the hotel underwent a major renovation and acquired 70 acres of adjoining property, which was converted into a dedicated landing strip to serve the new clientele.[3] The hotel is a popular destination for small aircraft pilots and motorcycle rallies.[2]

The oldest wooden water tower in the United States, the Beaumont St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad Water Tank, is located near the hotel.
