The Guest House on 49th

Just steps away from Butler's front door

We are very pleased to offer a fully renovated duplex house for guests of the University.  The house is conveniently located on 49th Street, across the street from Hinkle Fieldhouse.  This is an excellent option for departments who bring guests to campus for extended periods of time such as visiting faculty.  Depending on availability, the house may be rented for shorter stays by members of the Butler community.

 Rates

Unlike our guest apartment, which can be "shared" by people who do not know each other, the guest house is booked as "private" just to the guest(s) who reserve. The charges are per night for one side of the duplex, not per person. No additional booking fees will be added to these rates.

• 1-2 nights is $110 per night
• 3-6 nights is $90 per night
• 7 or more nights is $60 per night

Payment

Full payment is due in advance as no transactions can be handled by on site staff at time of check-in or check-out. Payment may be made by the following methods:

• Butler University Departmental Account (not a Butler Student Account)
• Check (US$ only)
• Major Credit Card
