Bluemont Hotel

What Bluemont Hotel does

Bluemont Hotel is a single-property hospitality business operating a 112-room hotel at 1212 Bluemont Avenue in Manhattan, Kansas, positioned directly across from Kansas State University and adjacent to the historic Aggieville shopping and entertainment district. The property offers five room configurations (King Executive Suite, Double Queen Room, King Room, Double Queen Suite, King Suite), with approximately 50 rooms configured as suites. On-site amenities include a complimentary hot breakfast buffet, heated indoor pool, 24-hour fitness center, 24/7 business center, and pet-friendly accommodations, supported by an on-site parking garage at $17 per night.

The hotel operates two F&B concepts: Bluemont Bar, an in-house lounge with cocktails, craft beers, and live music programming, and Goolsby's, an adjacent dining and entertainment venue featuring a self-pour beer wall and a multi-sport simulator. It also runs event facilities totaling roughly 5,841 square feet of meeting space (Hartford Ballroom at 3,456 sq ft, Excel Room at 1,344 sq ft, Rooftop Patio at 768 sq ft, and a Boardroom at 273 sq ft), accommodating groups of 10 to 250 for weddings, conferences, and corporate events. Catering is delivered through an approved network of four local caterers rather than in-house food production.

The business is operated as a private, single-asset company with approximately 30 employees. Revenue derives from five streams: guest room revenue (direct bookings via Synxis-powered website and phone, plus OTA distribution through Kayak and Orbitz), F&B, parking, event space rentals, and event catering/beverage packages. Demand is anchored to the Kansas State University calendar (game days, graduations, parent weekends, campus visits) with secondary contributions from weekend leisure tourism and group/convention bookings handled by a dedicated sales contact. The company holds no public stock listing, has not raised outside funding, and reports no revenue figures publicly.
