The Covington Houseboat

The Covington Inn is literally located on the Mississippi River. This houseboat is finished from bow to stern in mahogany, brass, and bronze, giving to guests the luxurious comfort traditionally reserved for corporate executives and VIPs aboard ancient work vessels. The boat's tiered design has windows and portals that allow light to enter each section. The sleeping rooms incorporate innovative built-in cabinets among modest furnishings from the Covington's labour era.

Salvaged fixtures, maritime antiques, and historical art serve as elegant reminders of the river and the inn's previous incarnation. Permanently moored within the mirrored image of downtown St. Paul's soaring skyline The Capitol museums theater fine dining and shopping wait just across the bridge. Offering a tranquil retreat as well as a downtown spree, the Covington has it all.

Apart from the guestrooms' solitude, the salon serves as a lovely gathering space. The salon, which is lit by clerestory windows and furnished with fireplace armchairs and window-front tables, is an ideal spot for breakfast, letter writing, and perusing the Covington library's collection of old river and shipping books. Our sumptuous breakfasts prepared in the boat's kitchen pamper you while powering a full day of exploring. .
