Description: Situated just west of the intersection of Shepherd of the Hills Expressway and MO 248, the Barrington Hotel is easy to miss if you’re not looking. It’s easier to see if you’re coming from MO 248. Just look for the large pink letters on the brick four-story building. It’s convenient to the Branson Landing, Sight and Sound Theatre, and the Mansion Theatre. The lobby looks more like that of a winter lodge than a hotel with its stone fireplace, plank wood floor, green marble tile, and hanging tapestries. The rooms are decorated in burgundy and turquoise; each comes with a queen-size bed, cable TV, and free local calls. There is an outdoor pool and hot tub, and some rooms come with Jacuzzis. Children younger than 17 stay free. Coffee is served all day, and you can get a deluxe continental breakfast in the morning.
