The Ozarker Lodge

Eagle Point Hotel Partners(EPHP), a privately held independent platform focused on hotel real estate, has partnered with Missouri-based hospitality branding and design agency, Longitude, to open a new independent boutique hotel, The Ozarker Lodge. This is the first hotel acquisition, renovation, and repositioning for this partnership between EPHP and Longitude, who have plans to expand throughout the Midwest over the next several years.

The Ozarker Lodge is the first Midwest property in EPHP's portfolio, but the company is well-known for its portfolio of unique, design-driven, independent hotels such as the Calistoga Motor Lodge in Napa Valley, Anvil Hotel in Jackson, WY, and Soundview in Greenport, NY. The partnership with Longitude, a branding and design agency with an international list of clients, brings together two creative and collaborative companies committed to creating exceptional guest experiences.

Jeremy Wells and Dustin Myers, partners at Longitude, are proud Missouri natives and excited to engage with their community and shape the future of the Ozarks. They bring a fresh aesthetic and approach to hospitality in the region, which is reflected in The Ozarker Lodge's design and amenities.

Opening Summer 2023, The Ozarker Lodge will be the first true independent hotel experience in Branson, Mo. - a localized nod to the spirit and people of the Ozarks in a playful and nostalgic lodge. The Ozarker invites guests to a design-forward, approachable hospitality experience with 102 all-new guest rooms, modern amenities, outdoor event space, and electrifying experiences among the wide-open Ozark Mountains.

The brand-new grand lobby is the heart of the Lodge and social hub for its guests, greeting adventure seekers, explorers, and nomads with a vintage yet modern lounge, indoor floating fireplace, and inviting community pantry and dining area. The perfect place for outdoor gatherings, The Ozarker is adorned with outdoor fire pits and soaking tubs throughout the property in addition to a new heated outdoor pool with rotating food trucks. The onsite coffee bar and mercantile shop - Storeroom - sells specialty coffee, beer and wine, branded merchandise, and local products, featuring craftsmanship from around the region.

The Ozarker's new guest rooms harness the energy and color palette of Branson, pulling inspiration from the destination to provide guests with an authentic experience of the Ozarks. The guest room design is evocative, encouraging guests to go out, explore, and connect with nature and each other. Starting at $109/night

The lodge will offer guests complimentary flavored water, tea, and drip coffee. For kids and travelers with a sweet tooth, the Lodge also offers saltwater taffy and s'mores kits to enjoy by the outdoor fire pits.

Coffee program. Served from the lodge's new lobby bar, Storeroom, The Ozarker Lodge has partnered with regional favorite roasters Kingdom Coffee to offer locally sourced pastries, coffee, and provisions for breakfast daily, along with paninis, sandwiches, locally curated charcuterie boards and Grandma Ruth's cinnamon rolls offered throughout the day. Guests can get a taste of local flavor by sipping on the lodge's official roast called "Scenic Blend," proudly roasted in the Ozarks!

Wine & Spirits program. The Ozarker's Lobby Bar, Storeroom, showcases a carefully selected assortment of all-natural or "low-intervention" wines from small producers, seasonal cocktails, local craft brews, and Spring Branch kombucha in addition to non-alcoholic selections like delicious espresso drinks and flavored waters.
