General Denver Hotel
Just 15 miles north of Blanchester is the General Denver Hotel in Wilmington. This hotel, named for native son Gen.

Standard rooms feature a full-size bed and private bath; suites offer two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate living room. Smoking is not permitted in the hotel.
