Jodie - Lux Rooms at The Silver Corner

Step back in time and experience history in our former bordello, Lux Rooms. The two-story brick building has been converted into seven boutique hotel rooms. The bordello operated illegally yet openly for nearly a century before closing in the late 1980s. Our halls and rooms honor the women who worked here by telling their stories and documenting their contribution to the town's past. Join us for a unique stay in historic Wallace, ID. Jodie’s room features a double bed that comfortably sleeps two. The room also features a sink, closet, and refrigerator. Guests share two full bathrooms and a common kitchen/lounge space. Block 23 Lounge offers a refrigerator, toaster, and Keurig coffee machine, as well as a selection of coffee, tea, and breakfast snacks. Guests also may enjoy a discount at The Silver Corner Bar downstairs. Your hosts, Jocelyn and Mathias, operate The Silver Corner Bar downstairs. They will be available throughout your stay to answer questions and provide suggestions regarding local activities. Incredible history meets breathtaking natural beauty in Wallace and the surrounding Silver Valley. Wallace produced more silver than any other mining district in the United States. With a "work hard, play hard" attitude, the town became known for a permissive approach toward drinking, gambling and prostitution. Illegal yet condoned, brothel-based sex work openly flourished. Locals believed that sex work prevented rape and bolstered the economy, so long as it was regulated and confined to the northeastern part of town. Madams in Wallace enjoyed unprecedented status as influential businesswomen, community leaders, and philanthropists. Several attractions highlight the town’s unique history, including the Oasis Bordello Museum, Wallace Mining Museum, Northern Pacific Depot, and Sierra Silver Mine Tour. Also experience the natural beauty on the many hiking and biking trails or the Silver Streak Zipline Tours. The entire town is extremely walkable, located just off I-90. Due to the historically themed nature of the hotel, there is adult content including artwork and reading materials throughout the premises.
