Hotel Updates its Restaurant Furniture Design

Restaurant Furniture Supply teams up with Hotel Ruebel to redesign their restaurant layout with new commercial booths and wood restaurant tables.

Albeit its modern décor, Ruebel Hotel is rich with history that dates back to 1884 when it was first built. Founded by Michael Reubel in which the establishment was named for, this hotel was the largest hotel in Jersey County at that time with 32 rooms and a bath house in the back. Ruebel mostly played host to river travelers and steamboat operators. Situated in Grafton Illinois, a town founded in 1832 by James Mason that boasts of a handful of haunted sites, Ruebel Hotel has been reported as having the most paranormal activities. In spite of it all, the hotel thrived until 1912 when it was damaged by the infamous Great Chicago Fire. Ruebel was repaired shortly afterwards and even added a restaurant and a dance hall. Unfortunately, business began to wither after having lived through the Great Depression and two World Wars. By the 1980’s the hotel has become derelict with its heyday nothing more than a faded memory. But 1996 came to the rescue when the hotel was purchased by the Jeff Lorton family. In 1997, the place was renovated and business resumed.

The hotel fell under new management in 2008 updating the décor to modern standards with emerald plus pillow top mattresses, 29” flat screen televisions; free Wifi, and full satellite service. The Reubel Hotel even has a bar that’s worth checking out. Despite the speculation of the hotel being haunted, you can still enjoy your stay with great service, excellent food and a variety of wines, beers and cocktails at the restaurant. The hotel’s restaurant provides an upbeat atmosphere from fine red wine to a cold glass of Budweiser. It is no wonder it is a favorite spot for drinks in Grafton! Ruebel ensures a high-class dining experience to its guests by serving them meals prepared by the freshest ingredients available. But to upkeep the hotel design, they had to remodel the restaurant layout with new furnishings. They recruited Restaurant Furniture Supply for assistance.

Besides service and the quality of food, furniture can also have an impact on one’s dining experience. Known for its low maintenance, durability, style and immeasurable comfort, the button tuft back booth made an excellent choice for restaurant booth seating. Made in the US by our skilled craftsmen, this commercial booth is popular among venues looking to elevate their interior design as well as provide guests with comfortable seating. With the customization options that are included, you can adjust the height, size and seat to your preference along with a selection of upholstery. Ruebel was also in need of sturdy wood restaurant tables and chose from the solid wood butcher block tables that we suggested for them. You can design this particular table however you like with an array of finishes, sizes, and shapes to choose from. A 2” table top is available at an additional cost.
