The Paddock Hotel is a historic 110-room hotel building in Beatrice, Nebraska. It was built in 1924, and designed in the Renaissance Revival style by architect Thomas R. Kimball.[2] According to its National Register of Historic Places Registration, "The entrance opens into a lobby with massive mahogany columns (now painted) rising from a mosaic tile floor to coffered ceilings at the second story. A marble staircase leads to the mezzanine area where decorative metal balustrades overlook the lobby."[2] The hotel was turned into a retirement facility in 1970.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 30, 1987.[1]
